Jackie Quotes

“Who's in charge of a woman's life?,' I asked John Wyatt years ago when I was working at the paper and he'd made some remark about one of my columns. Once, I thought I understood what I was willing to give up when I married Jack: my work; the freedom to go where I wanted or see who I wanted, whenever I wanted. But the deeper sacrifice, I'd come to realize, is about power and the accommodations a woman is called on to make. To shrink enough, to be small enough to fit into the corners of a man's world. To file down her own edges to be the kind of wife he'll need, that he and others expect her to be.”
