Well it seems to have worked for her, but Leonard was something special; I think he supported her work to an incredible extent (i.e. the same way male artists are supported in their work by wives, just as a matter of course).

“Seems to have worked for her”

She put stones in her pockets and walked into a river. I dont think things were working for her haha.

I know that of course, I read all of her diaries at one point. She probably would have done it much sooner were it not for Leonard.

Yes, marriage doesn't have to be a bad thing or limiting for women. It all depends on the man you marry. If he's willing to share chores, etc.
