"In America, a woman’s body seemed to belong to everybody but herself.
Her sexuality belonged to her husband, her opinion of herself belonged
to her social circles, and her uterus belonged to the government. She
was supposed to be a mother and a lover and a career woman (at a
fraction of the pay) while remaining perpetually youthful and slim. In
America, important men were desirable. Important women had to be desirable."
