In the late 1970s, thousands of women because utopian separatists, leaving their male-dominated lives behind. Van Dykes, were a roving band of "van-driving vegans who shaved their heads, avoided speaking to men unless they were waiters or mechanics, and lived on the highways of North America for several years, stopping only on Women's Land (as founded by the separatists). The Van dykes were started by Heather Elizabeth (Lamar Van Dyke) and Ange Spaulding.; March 1, 2009 at 8:35 PM

Caused quite the stir in bathrooms at rest areas. .....Lamar; April 25, 2009 at 11:20 AM
