She's clearly the kind of sparkplug libertarian women have always tended to be. Granted I've only read Mutual Aid, but I think that if traditionalist conservatives of the Gottfried variety want to get into anarchism, they could do worse than to start with Kropotkin. It's surprising what kinds of hybrids and alliances can emerge. I am a member of Young Americans for Liberty, which grew out of a Ron Paul campus group. The organization, and their magazine Young American Revolution, is geared toward the conservative/libertarian axis. In the latest issue Dylan Hales has an article called "The New Left was Right" which praises, with some qualifications, the SDS and Black Panthers. Given that mainstream conservatism excoriates everything which came out of the 60's (and the neocons have a standing feud with the student radicals which goes back to the days when they were the very corporate liberals the students were calling out), this clearly means something new is in the air.
