I’m love love Elena Ferrante’s writing. But there’s something about this essay that I couldn’t fully grasp? I found myself wanting examples of everything she is talking about? But then I realized— maybe I have my own example? Today I watched one author interview another and criticized the interviewer to a friend. My friend saw my point but then noted the interviewer ( a woman, they both were) has an astonishing history of not being listened to. Maybe I was falling into that trap of criticizing other women who are just trying their best…Anyway thanks for sharing!
