• Women, I learned, adapted.
  At first..they seemed so fragile, so dependent on fathers and husbands and brothers and lovers. Gradually, though, I noticed how supple their lives were beneath the surface.

When at my most optimistic, I thought of it as independence; in darker moods, as survival. Either way women had to do it.
