Beth-you are a storyteller extraordinaire! So much of what you so beautifully wrote resonates. As always, I admire, and applaud (OK, and envy) your courage.
What a powerful piece, YES, Beth. Yes to every thought you are expressing so excellently! Some of my favorite parts of this feminist tour-de-force: "But I'm talking about it now for myself and for my children and for others, to underline the powerful, silencing, shrinking damage misogyny can inflict on a person's psyche," AND from Ferrante, "Stories ... engage them (readers) by putting them to work, body and soul, so that they can transform the black thread of writing into people, ideas, feelings, actions, cities, worlds, humanity, life." ♥️ Thank you, Beth, for this strong post.
Thank you for sharing this! Telling stories that matter is my motto. Looking forward to your next one!
Loved this!

Thank you. And by the way, any courage I have is the result of someone else loaning theirs to me -- you included.

I'm so glad it resonated, Diana! It means a ton to me that you took time to read and consider it AND that it connected. Thank you.
