Why do magazines do this to women? It's all about creating insecurity. Trying to make women feel like they're not good enough. And when women don't feel like they're good enough, guess what? Men win. That's how they keep us down.

I always thought that there was a really good chance that I wasn't going to get married.

As Im writing, certain things become clear to me and certain things begin to feel right and make sense. The pieces start to fall into place.

I started writing about New York as soon as I arrived. I was 19. I used to write short stories and send them out.

I have a house in the Connecticut countryside where you'll always find me, summer or winter.

The '80s was all about this idea that women could have it all. You could have a career, and you could have a husband, and you could have children.
