“Well. I’m not a poet, I’m just a
woman. And as a woman I have no way
to make money, not enough to earn a

don’t, it would belong to my
husband the minute we were married.
If we had children they would
belong to him not me. They would be
his property. So don’t sit there
and tell me that marriage isn’t an
economic proposition, because it
is. It may not be for you but it
most certainly is for me.”
