Betty at Chico State 1970

By Carlin Ross

Published October 31, 2022

Betty spoke at Chico State in 1970.  She shares her experiences about orgasm, masturbation, and feminism. She is brilliant. This video is a valuable piece of feminist and Bodysex history. The first couple of minutes are choppy but stick with it. It’s about an hour long.
