Ayelet Waldman on Talented Women

I’m looking forward to lunch today with some terrific authors in honor of Christina Baker Kline being in town. So today’s quote is a shout-out to Ayelet Waldman, who is kind enough to host us. It’s from Love and Treasure.

How many people will die, have died, because of the wasted talents of intelligent and gifted women, forced into domestic drudgery, corseted by paternal demands, strangled by denial of opportunity?” – Ayelet Waldman
