"I'll see Naomi Wolf on television periodically, I have nothing against her and what she says, but I'll feel that she's a politician, like she's got an agenda to get across and that she doesn't always say what's really true or exactly what she feels"
- Elizabeth Wurtzel
About this Quote
This quote by Elizabeth Wurtzel recommends that she has a specific level of suspicion towards Naomi Wolf's public persona. She acknowledges that she has nothing against Wolf and her views, but she feels that Wolf is attempting to push a particular agenda and that she might not always be completely truthful in her statements. This might be analyzed as a criticism of Wolf's method to public discourse, as Wurtzel suggests that Wolf is more worried with getting her point across than with being entirely sincere. It might also be seen as a commentary on the nature of public discourse in general, as Wurtzel implies that it is challenging to understand what holds true and what is not. Ultimately, this quote recommends that Wurtzel watches out for Wolf's approach to public discourse and that she is not totally persuaded of the truthfulness of her declarations.
