Elizabeth Gilbert Quotes:
Ocupation: Author
Life: b. July 18, 1969
Birthday: July 18
I have no nostalgia for the patriarchy, please believe me. But what I have come to realize is that, when that patriarchic system was (rightfully) dismantled, it was not necessarily replaced by another form of protection. What I mean is--I never thought to ask a suitor the same challenging questions my father might have asked him, in a different age.
