I think there's a good steady progression of feminist influence from  
the short stories of Slow Learner and V., where it's pretty slim,  to  
Against the Day where Lake, Dolly,  Yashmeen and a bunch of other  
women have the about same amount of variation and development as the  
males.    Imo, Oedipa was a bit ahead of her time and  I'm so looking  
forward to Inherent Vice.
