Quotes by Gail Crowther  (?)

“Perhaps the sadness here is that Plath and Sexton somehow could not quite gather the strength to truly believe in their self-worth, and in the end neither gave themselves time to.”
Gail Crowther, Three-Martini Afternoons at the Ritz: The Rebellion of Sylvia Plath & Anne Sexton

“Nobody can exist in a cultural vacuum or truly exist outside their historical moment.”
Gail Crowther, Three-Martini Afternoons at the Ritz: The Rebellion of Sylvia Plath & Anne Sexton

“If Plath and Sexton sometimes used sex as a disturbing form of self-harm and violence, they were equally able to draw pleasure from it, most notably through masturbation, when men were not even needed.”
Gail Crowther, Three-Martini Afternoons at the Ritz: The Rebellion of Sylvia Plath & Anne Sexton
