Take what you need.
After every dinner, the hostess leaves a card at each place. Turn one over. Keep the one that was meant for you, and leave the rest for the next woman.

Six cards are on the table. Choose the one that calls you. If none of them do, the house will deal again.

The Letter
A new card every Sunday, with the essay behind it.
To whom it may concern (and it should),
Every Sunday I write to the women who have been called too much, too loud, too ambitious, too difficult. Each letter opens with a new card that isn't on this table, and the story of why I wrote it.
No advice columns. No twelve-step plans. Honest letters, and the occasional story.
Until the next riot,
M.R.
