" It may well be that since women in patriarchal society have had so few positive images of self, so few positive images of femaleness, they have identified their creativity - the thing that set s them apart from other people, other women - with destructiveness. Often, indeed, they have fulfilled their own prophecy of destruction by committing suicide. They have killed themselves in the hopes of extinguishing their tragic otherness. But, alas, they have killed not otherness, but only their future poems. "
