We're still expected to color within the lines of accepted femininity, and women who step out of those lines are usually attacked, whether verbally or physically.

We're comfortable with women in certain roles but not comfortable with women expressing anger or fully accepting their power. The most daring question a woman can ask is, 'What do I want?'

Sitting in my favorite coffeehouse with a new notebook and a hot cup of java is my idea of Heaven.

I'd love a signed first edition of 'City of Glass' by Paul Auster. My favourite book of all time.

I love Brooklyn; it's a part of who you are.
