Loose Change: Three Women of the Sixtiesby
Once upon a time in 1960, there were three young women who
went to Berkeley. Tasha was an artist; Susie was a radical-in-
training; and Sara was a journalist. In this chronicle of their
lives (spanning 1959 to 1973), the reader is given an up-close-
and-personal view of the upheavals of the 1960s and early
1970s. The book touches upon many events, both pivotal
and sundry: from the advent of diet sodas and 7-digit phone
numbers, to the Pill and the sexual revolution, to the Berkeley
Free Speech Movement, feminism, and Vietnam, to mysticism,
hallucinogens, Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, and Gurdjieff.
In addition to the sociopolitical changes of the era, Davidson's
memoir astutely and sensitively chronicles the impact of
the 1960s on the 3 women's lives, relationships, and
self-understandings.
