    Traci Medford-Rosow
    “Sober, gainfully employed, and physically secure once again, Kevin began to relax. His confidence slowly returned. For the first time since the onset of his blindness, he let his guard down and a crack in his carefully constructed veneer formed.
    Light flooded in.
    And with it, hope.”

    Margaret Atwood
    “Ah men,
    why do you want
    all this attention?
    I can write poems for myself, make
    love to a doorknob if absolutely
    necessary. What do you have to offer me
    I can't find otherwise
    except humiliation? Which I no longer
    need.”

    Naomi Novik
    “If you really wanted to court me, you'd have to do it by my family's laws, and you'd have to marry me the same way." I said, and folded my arms, knowing that would be the end of it, of course. And I wasn't sorry; I wouldn't be. I wouldn't regret any man who wouldn't do that, no matter what else he was or offered me; that much had lived in my heart all my life, a promise between me and my people, that my children would still be Israel no matter where they lived. Even if in some sneaking corner of my mind I might have thought, once or twice, for only a moment, that it would be worth something to have a husband who'd sooner slit his own throat than ever lie to you or cheat you. But not if he didn't value you at least as high as his pride. I wouldn't hold myself that cheap, to marry a man who'd love me less than everything else he had, even if what he had was a winter kingdom.”
    Naomi Novik, Spinning Silver
