Wise Words of Josafina Stone

My name is Josafina Stone.  Its a name that's not unheard of around here, but a name most people here in Boston won't take kindly too. I live in a century where girls aren't allowed to wear pants, drive vehicles, or work at most jobs. And most of us aren't even educated. I, however, am an exception to some of these rules. I still can't wear pants and I'm still restricted to riding my bicycle, but I was educated at Princeton and I work as a writer and journalist for the Boston Herald. And of course, I'm the best writer on staff. They wouldn't let me work if i wasn't. The men here don't like me very much, and that's okay. I didn't come to work here to please a man, or for men in general. I did it for me. That's the whole point. This is a new age, and I say that all people deserve to follow their passion the way I have. Even women. That's the reason I wrote my letter to the mayor. The letter that changed my life, and the lives of people who wanted to take charge along with me. All we needed was a start, and there it was, in a letter entitled: Wise Words of Anonymous.
