I am so excited to discover you, I’m just reading The Solitude of Self about Elizabeth and American Feminist history - what I intuit about Henry is that his distance was deliberate, as many things he did were. It allowed her the space to be “radical” without impacting his own work so they could approach from two angles, so to speak. I am helping my male partner to outwardly engage in feminist work from his own platform, but he isn’t present in my public facing work. I find that the general public is easily confused/biased, and assume it’s the man’s work if he is present.
