I think it's a question which particularly arises over women writers: whether it's better to have a happy life or a good supply of tragic plots. Wendy Cope
The door might not be opened to a woman again for a long, long time, and I had a kind of duty to other women to walk in and sit down on the chair that was offered, and so establish the right of others long hence and far distant in geography to sit in the high seats. Frances Perkins
