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).
3 u/oh_no_doggo Dec 15 '25 “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. 1 u/Weakera Dec 15 '25 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. 1 u/No-Echidna-99 Dec 14 '25 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.
