    Thy gowns, thy shoes,thy beds of roses,

    It is in the thirties that we want friends. In the forties we know they won’t save us any more than love did.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    Until the Women’s Movement, it was commonplace to be told by an editor that he’d like to publish more of my poems, but he’d already published one by a woman that month ... this attitude was the rule rather than the exception, until the mid-sixties. Highest compliment was to be told, “You write like a man.”
    Maxine Kumin (b. 1925)
