Since then Johnson has also become something of a heretic in the women’s movement. In

nization for Women (NOW) en- dorsed Mondale, she ran for Pres- ident of the United States as can- didate for the Citizens Party. As Johnson tells it, she just laughed when she was first approached to run, then suddenly the shocking realization came over her — “but look who IS President!” She has a moving chapter in her second book, “Going Out of Our Minds: The Metaphysics of Liberation, about her experience of running

for president. In it she encour- ages every reader to think about her values and beliefs and to out- line her priorities energizing com- mon sense is a real tonic for those of us who always assume we don’t have what it takes to be a leader, whether in out communities or in politics. Of course her com- ments about the American polit- ical scene easily translate to ours.

Yockey goes on to say “John-

inspired and elegant for changing the world as was the invention of the lever: Women can trans- form the system by transcending it in their feelings and attitudes about themselves. Furthermore, she gives specific, practical tech-

niques for doing this.

Another reviewer states that “The very hopefulness of So-

nia Johnson’s metaphysical es- says puts a burden on us that seems too much to bear. Af- ter all, cynicism, despair, and very modest dreams are more palatable than the idea that our visions for a brave new world will find the path for the whole planet. Maybe it’s just too hard to do things differently.”
