Anarchy in High Heels is not a state of dress; it's a state of
mind. A San Francisco porno theater might be the last place you'd
expect to plant the seed of a feminist troupe, but truth is
stranger than fiction. In 1972, access to birth control and a
burn-your-bra ethos were leading young women to repudiate their
1950s conservative upbringing and embrace a new liberation. Denise
Larson was a timid twenty-four-year-old actress wannabe when, at an
after-hours countercultural event, The People's Nickelodeon, she
accidentally created Les Nickelettes. This banding together of
like-minded women with an anything-goes spirit unlocked a deeply
hidden female humor. For the first time, Denise allowed the
suppressed satirical thoughts dancing through her head to come out
in the open. Together with Les Nickelettes, which quickly became a
brazen women's lib troupe, she presented a series of feminist
skits, stunts, and musical comedy plays. In 1980, The Bay Guardian
described the group as "nutty, messy, flashy, trashy, and very
funny." With sisterhood providing the moxie, Denise took on
leadership positions not common for women at the time: playwright,
stage director, producer, and administrative/artistic director.
But, in the end, the most important thing she learned was the power
of female friendship.
Continuity of operations at Department of Defense (DOD)
installations is vital to supporting the department's missions, and
the disruption of utility services -- such as electricity and
potable water, among others -- can threaten this support. DOD
installations have experienced utility disruptions resulting in
operational and fiscal impacts due to hazards such as mechanical
failure and extreme weather. Threats, such as cyberattacks, also
have the potential to cause disruptions. This book addresses
whether threats and hazards have caused utility disruptions on DOD
installations and, if so, what impacts they have had; the extent to
which DOD's collection and reporting on utility disruptions is
comprehensive and accurate; and the extent to which DOD has taken
actions and developed and implemented guidance to mitigate risks to
operations at its installations in the event of utility disruption.
Moreover, DOD relies overwhelmingly on commercial electrical power
grids for secure, uninterrupted electrical power supplies to
support its critical assets. This book also examines the extent to
which DOD's most critical assets are vulnerable to disruptions in
electrical power supplies and the extent to which DOD -- both
within and outside of the Defense Critical Infrastructure Program
-- has attempted to assure the availability of electrical power
supplies to its most critical assets.
