Though she has tried to get away from the "woman writer" tag, Gloria does not hide her feminine point of view. For the current issue of New York, she complains, in an essay about "Women and Power," that in a society which sees ambition as somehow unfeminine, "most women will have to exercise their much denied but very much alive instincts for power through men for a while yet."
