Gone With The Wind, Scarlett O'Hara, and Me

I'm reading Gone With The Wind and the lines below caught my attention. I can relate to the part that says "ladies dislike me." I have always felt that ladies dislike me also. Women have always been jealous of other women and it even existed in 1936 when Margaret Mitchell wrote the book and still exists today in 2016. Jealousy is human nature and will never go away.


"I think–I think, she began hesitantly, “that I’ve always been lonely where women were concerned. It isn’t just my working that makes Atlanta ladies dislike me. They just don’t like me anyway. No woman ever really liked me, except Mother. Even my sisters. I don’t know why, but even before the war, even before I married Charlie, ladies didn’t seem to approve of anything I did."
— Margaret Mitchell, Gone With The Wind




My article got published!

I submitted my "free clothes" article to Woman's World Magazine and it got published in the July 14-20 issue. I noticed they changed some of the wording from my original article, but that's OK. I also received a $25 payment for the article. The check came in the mail yesterday. Cool!
