Booth TarkingtonDear Angel Juan, You used to guard my sleep like a panther biting back my pain with the edge of your teeth.

Becca FitzpatrickThroughout much of history, women writers have capitulated to male standards, and have paid too much heed to what Virginia Woolf calls "the angel in the house."
