I think for a woman, getting older can help, through personal experience, although of course older women are then rendered invisible in our society, another existential crisis.

People are depressed for many reasons, one of which I think is how we have been taught to react to trauma, to stress.

On the whole, most biographies about literary women tend to diagnose them.

I'm just too lazy. I wish I could be someone that has wild affairs - all of my favorite nonfiction novels are about these wild affairs and postmarital agonistes - but to be honest, I'm someone that doesn't deal well with instability.

I do think that memoirs by women are reviewed differently and considered somewhat outside of the canon.
