17. Women and the Arts and Music. Women Writers and Artists (including Recording Artists); Feminist Literature (Fiction)
It was the programming that is given to us girls from the first, the programming that says men's careers are more important than ours. I tended to go out with powerful men who treated my career like a hobby whereas theirs was the real deal. I think a lot of women do that too. I hope you look at your own life and recognize whether you are minimizing it, because I did.
