News at Eleven: "It's hard to write in the voices

of women and make them seem as if they were the actual women.

"I remember so clearly how those women spoke and wrote. They were very original, and they used a lot of street talk, yet they were very funny. I put together an anthology of the poems they wrote in the '70s--I couldn't use them in my book, but they helped me."
