I love this author’s writing so much omg, but I can’t rate it any higher than 4 stars as it is only a short story
I love Miller’s appreciation of women, and the way she gave the ‘woman’ in Pygmalion’s story her own story and name is incredibly inspiring. Galatea did not choose to be born, but she did choose her death, and was able to take down her tormentor with her.
