Nope.  This story was floating around -- *and debunked within the 
feminist activist community* -- in New York City in 1992.  Just because 
that's when you first heard of it, that doesn't make it the beginning of 
the legend.  And if that's when Ms Summers first heard of it, that's yet 
another suggestion that she hasn't done her research particularly well

Anyone have a good cite for the refutations of the many errors in this 
book?
