She wrote a famous essay about her trip to Hanoi (and one of her traveling companions was the late and much-missed Andy Kopkind). Much of it was about her feelings. I think a lot of her political history over the last 20 years is trying to compensate for her youthful indiscretions - that essay, and the famous remark about the white race being the cancer of history (a figure of speech she later did penance for with Illness as Metaphor).
