There's a difference to me - maybe it's only there in my own mind, but I've always associated consciousness-raising with the "click" or "a-ha" moment - and certainly I've had a good many of them, and owe a lot to book, lectures, and to the wonderful women in the various CR groups I was a part of in the 70s.

What I'm talking about here wasn't so much that, as reading something and feeling that I was being told something I alredy knew - no "click," no "a-ha," more of a "well, duh, of course," to be highly colloquial about it.

Or perhaps they're simply two aspects of the same phenomenon.
