“Art demands what, to women, current civilisation won't give.
There is for a Dostoyevsky writing against time on the corner of a
crowded kitchen table a greater possibility of detachment than for a
woman artist no matter how placed. Neither motherhood nor the more
continuously exacting and indefinitely expansive responsibilities of
even the simplest housekeeping can so effectively hamper her as the
human demand, besieging her wherever she is, for an inclusive awareness,
from which men, for good or ill, are exempt.”
