On page 64...

On page 64 I'd like to bring up a few quotes that intrigued me. The first was "the normal and comfortable state of being is that when two live in harmony together, spiritually co-operating." Also, "Perhaps a mind that is purely masculine cannot create, any more than a mind that is purely feminine." I believe she is trying to say that our minds must work androgynously. I think she is trying to say not only do we have to think like women writers, but also like men, and visa versa. She also says "It was delightful to read a mans writing again. It was so direct, so straightforward after the writing of women. It indicated such freedom of mind, such liberty of person, such confidence in himself." She appreciates the differences in men's writing as well as women's. There are good qualities about each that a person could appreciate and take into consideration. I believe she is also trying to say that men already have this 'right' to write and will have such confidence because they know that they can write just because they're men and that's something women writers struggle with; the confidence.
