“The tarot fascinated Mairead from the moment Gretchen brought her into her bedroom during a family party. In the bustling kitchen, she pushed Mairead's hair away from her ear and whispered Come see what I've got, then guided her down the hallway leading to the bedrooms. When the door was shut, Mairead saw the colorful cards, larger than playing cards, spread out on Gretchen's tie-dyed bedspread. If there is such a thing as love at first sight with an object, that's what Mairead experienced when she saw the cards. Each depicted colorful images decorated with mysterious symbols. All were equally attractive in her eyes and she immediately wanted to learn what every one of them represented. Tarot to Mairead was like an alternate universe she wanted to inhabit.”

[women in fiction were] not only seen by the other sex, but seen only in relation to the other sex. And how small a part of a woman's life is that”

“I consider telling my brother, asking him for help. But tell him what exactly? I have no black eyes, no bloody noses to report: Cordelia does nothing physical. If it was boys, chasing or teasing, he would know what to do, but I don’t suffer from boys in this way. Against girls and their indirectness, their whisperings, he would be helpless.”
