"Being born a woman is an awful tragedy. Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars--to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording--all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault or battery.

I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night."
-Sylvia Plath
