"To me the great hope is that ... one day some little fat girl in Ohio is going to be the new Mozart, you know, and make a beautiful film with her father's camera-corder and for once this whole professionalism about movies will be destroyed forever."

At university I read Aphra Behn, who was the first "professional" female writer. One of the OG glass-ceiling breakers, back in the 1600s.
IIRC her novel Oroonoko wasn't too shabby: the story of an African prince tricked into slavery and sold to colonists in Suriname.

Close college friend was a beautiful, tall, intelligent blonde. Same story: she kept everyone at arm's length, incl me.
Turns out she'd been dating her HS history teacher since the month after graduation. She said later it was kind of stupid. But she was *definitely* no victim.
