Cristina Henriquez Women Quotations

I teach a lot of graduate creative writing classes, and on the first day, I like to go around the room and ask everybody what's the last book you've read that you really loved. And all of the women tend to give me chick lit titles. And to me, that's sort of disappointing because it's their only exposure to fiction somehow.

I feel like elements of race and identity and ethnicity are sort of missing in all of literature, not just in women's literature.
