The rest is history"

Women deserve for us to write about them, to write in their voice, and to express their inner selves because they carry in their hearts the secret of the universe and the letters of love in its purest form. No matter how many lines we write, how much we delve into the letters of language, or how many stories and narratives we tell, we will always remain standing at the threshold of woman, waiting for her to tell us her rich human experience throughout the ages and epochs."

There's no mystery anymore."
