As I watched, I wondered—how many similar scenes of women writers at work had filmmakers captured, and what themes could I make out across them?
Spiritual Adventure Should Get You High
Spiritual Adventure Should Get You High That’s what the poster says. It hangs in Lerner Hall, the student center at Columbia University.

It’s a sound that says the door is closed, your belongings are locked safe inside, and nobody can get in but the person with the key.
