Children
of Privilege
“Unlike many of my contemporaries, I did not end up butchered
in a back alley or consigned to early single motherhood. Nor did
I have to endure the pain and shame of a sequestered pregnancy only
to turn over the child I had borne to a nameless, faceless future.
My place in the upper-class pantheon remained secure because favors
were done, slates were wiped clean.”
By Meredith Michaels for The Nation, October 2004
