♥ Thank you, sweetheart. I needed to write it and I'm so glad people are listening. And yes, that's (of course) very true--I was actually thinking of Peggy Orenstein, the journalist, when I wrote that. In the introduction to Schoolgirls, she tells the story of how she went to her thesis advisor and said she was feeling like an impostor. Her professor responded by saying: intelligent women always do.
