Going To Seed is a memoir of the counterculture written by Barbara Ehrenreich, a woman who was there from the beginning. Ehrenreich was a young woman in her early twenties when she first encountered the counterculture in New York City. She was immediately drawn to its message of peace and love, and she quickly became involved in the movement.

Ehrenreich's memoir is a fascinating and often hilarious account of her journey from small-town Iowa to the heart of the psychedelic revolution. She writes about her experiences with drugs, sex, and politics, and she offers a unique perspective on the counterculture from the inside.

Going To Seed is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the counterculture or in the 1960s. It is a funny, moving, and insightful look at a time of great change and upheaval.
