Women (Re)sisters Part 2
Part 2: Look For The Helpers. Women must comfort, help, and promote women. Relying unconditionally on men for women's safety, security, and fulfillment is delusion. White women helped win the election for the GOP. We must be ready to help, because the GOP will undoubtedly fail women.

Clovie, Susan, and Akiko are in their senior year of high school when Akiko disappears overnight with the entire Japanese colony.
