Anne

“She is ‘wife of’ and ‘aunt of’; later she will be ‘mother of’ – perhaps some energetic young man whose achievements will never be traced back to she who birthed him. These claims upon her will only multiply – she will be mother-in-law, grandmother, widow, dependant – and accordingly her own person will be divided and divided and divided, until there is nothing left.”
― Imogen Hermes Gowar, The Mermaid and Mrs. Hancock
