Description

In Pro Femina, she writes: "From Sappho to myself, consider the fate of women. / How unworthy to discuss it! Like a noose ... / Juvenal set us apart in denouncing / our vices / Which had grown, in part, from / having been set apart: / Women abused their spouses, / cuckolded them, even plotted / To poison them ..."
