Lucile told the story of her life four times.

All four of Lucile’s presentations reviewing her life journey,  delivered at TOP, are included here . The fourth telling of her life story from her perspective at 81 years old , Transforming the Myths – Telling Our Stories, 4-16-1992  , is particularly insightful concerning her primary passion, understand the role of women and religion in patriarchy and how it effects all of us. Reading this will give you quite a sense of this intelligent leader and why she committed herself to look at the impacts of religion through the eyes feminism.

From the intro to her fourth effort.

Have I been telling the story or only a story? I reread the three experiential papers I’ve given at TOPS

It seems that I have been telling the same story with a particular emphasis on each occasion. There has been a changing sense-of-self as the years passed but other basic details have remained the same. Where did my real life go?
