As a longtime feminist and a university professor as well, I know many people expect me to dress more like Susan B. Anthony than Diane Sawyer, but I just can’t seem to adjust. I’m a woman who never saw an earring I didn’t like, who has as many back issues of Vogue as Victorian Studies, whose idea of bliss is an afternoon in the makeup department at Saks ... For years, I’ve been trying to make the life of the mind coexist with the day at the mall, and to sneak the femme back into feminist. (Elaine Showalter, Vogue) [1]
