“... probably all of the women in this book are working to make part of the same quilt to keep us from freezing to death in a world that grows harsher and bleaker—where male is the norm and the ideal human being is hard, violent and cold: a macho rock.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Nothing is ever simple. What do you do when you discover you like parts of the role you’re trying to escape?”
