Margaret Atwood
“I am like a room where things once happened and now nothing does, except the pollen of the weeds that grow up outside the window. blowing in as dust across the floor.”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale

Kate Chopin
“I suppose this is what you would call unwomanly; but I have got into a habit of expressing myself. It doesn't matter to me, and you may think me unwomanly if you like.”
Kate Chopin, The Awakening
