what is to be done
two thirty in the morning reading the final chapters of ‘Anna Karenina’ leading into Anna’s suicide by throwing herself in front of a train.
I thought of the contrast between the victimized Anna Karenina and the radicalized women of that period,like freedom fighter Vera Figner who spent two decades in Czarist prisons.
They did not throw themselves in front of trains.
They threw bombs at the czar.
