Summary/Abstract: This article by Gabriela Adameșteanu continues her reflections on her literary journey and the challenges she faced due to gender biases in the literary world. Adameșteanu recounts her early attempts to censor her lyrical outpourings and her struggle with the negative image of "feminine literature" prevalent in the 1970s. She shares personal anecdotes about her educational choices, the influence of her family, and her eventual acceptance of her literary vocation. The narrative also touches on her interactions with notable literary figures and her internal conflict between pursuing a "normal" life and embracing her identity as a writer. Adameșteanu's reflections provide insights into the gender dynamics within the literary community and her journey towards self-acceptance and literary accomplishment.
