I will tell you the story of how I knew myself to be plain and therefore devoid of the one virtue which it behooves every woman to have. Do we give her a round of applause for her willingness to forego book sales in favor of boasting that she stuck to her vision, or do we question what publishing house would take the risk of angering and alienating the very audience they need to make this novel a success?
