No, I'd be respected if I couldn't be loved.Molly Breen (Producer/Playwright/Mimi Alford) co-founded Tennessee Playwrights Studio (TPS), along with her partner, Kenley Smith, in 2018.

It looks like it's never done a day of work in its life. But I can never go home again, because I'm in such trouble. I have lovely small feet, the best in the family. I would have never have sprained my ankle. You brought my sister back from the dance. It's just that the only thing you care about is your writing so it's not as if I could hurt you by ruining one of your dresses. I'm making a mould of my foot for Laurie to remind him I have nice feet. I won't do it, not when, not when I've spent my entire life loving you. I have been second to Jo my whole life in everything and I will not be the person you settle for just because you cannot have her. It may not be for you but it most certainly is for me. So don't sit there and tell me that marriage isn't an economic proposition, because it is. If we had children they would belong to him, not me. Even if I had my own money, which I don't, it would belong to my husband the minute we were married. And as a woman I have no way to make money, not enough to earn a living and support my family. Well, I believe we have some power over who we love, it isn't something that just happens to a person. I can't say 'yes' truly, so I'm not going to say it at all.

If I were a girl in a book this would all be so easy. I'm glad he's with her, he won't respond to any of my letters. Well my sister Amy is in Paris, and until she marries someone obscenely wealthy, it's up to me to keep the family afloat. Even in fiction.Īnd I'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I suppose marriage has always been an economic proposition. When I get in a passion I get so savage I could hurt anyone and I'd enjoy it. What is wrong with me? I've made so many resolutions and written sad notes and cried over my sins, but it just doesn't seem to help. I can't get over my disappointment at being a girl. I'm happy as I am, and love my liberty too well to be in any hurry to give it up.ĭon't go quietly, fight! Please fight to the end, be LOUD! Don't just quietly go away! I'm homely and awkward and odd and you'd be ashamed of me and we would quarrel - we can't help it even now! - I'd hate elegant society and you'd hate my scribbling and we would be unhappy and wish we hadn't done it and everything will be horrid. You'll find some lovely accomplished girl, who will adore you, and make a fine mistress for your fine house. You'll see that I'm right, eventually, and you'll thank me for it. I can't say 'Yes' truly so I won't say it at all.

I'd rather be a free spinster and paddle my own canoe. I'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. And they've got ambition, and they've got talent, as well as just beauty. Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts.
