For worse, no husband

I liked this short profile on Evan Kleiman, and really admire how involved she is in so many aspects of the LA food/dining community.

But, this quote made me sad: "For worse? No husband, she says."

Not as sad as the final paragraph of Ariel Levys' discussion of two recently published books on feminism.

"So close. And now so far. The amazing journey of American women is easier to take pride in if you banish thoughts about the roads not taken. When you consider all those women struggling to earn a paycheck while rearing their children, and start to imagine what might have been, it’s enough to make you want to burn something."

P.S. Everyone should read Levy's piece on Caster Semeya.
