From Nancy Huston's "Journal de la création", written while she was pregnant:
"The famous 'Ivory Tower' that has for so long protected the peace and impunity of male artists--while their wives impeccably kept up the windows and the silent areas--is on course to crack and collapse on itself. From these ruins one will have to build, but more modestly, rooms of one's own [the requirement in order to write according to Virginia Woolf] for the women and for the men."
-Nancy Huston, 1988
