Quote preview background for Kate Bolick
At first I thought it was simply that the specter of the crazy bag lady has been branded so simply into the collective female consciousness that we__e stuck with her. Now I realized I was wrong. What is haunting about the bag lady is not only that she is left to wander the streets, cold and hungry, but that she__ living proof of what it means to not be loved. Her apparition will endure as long as women consider the love of a man the most supreme of all social validations.
