  1. A homosexual woman.

    Traces of the answer, I submit, are to be discerned in all writings by the daughters of Sappho or the descendents^([sic]) of the tenth muse—Yourcenar, Paglia, Mehta, Patkar, et al. Women want what most men will never admit that they also want — women want to know what it is to belong to another sex.
