I was raised a socialist by two very socialist parents, and I still feel very animated about socialist principles.

I love my children, but I don't really want to talk about them. I'm not that much of a freakish middle-aged mother, I'm just very lucky, and there isn't much more to say. I'd like not to be constantly expected to be a spokesman for things that are part of the natural rhythm of a woman's life.

I recognise my old self in a lot of the letters I get from single women who are unrealistic about what they want.
