註釋Plaintext is a warm, witty, extraoridnarily candid collection of essays that explore in very personal terms the quality and custom of women's lives. In order to understand how her own life has been shaped, Nancy Mairs discloses her hard-won but life-affirming struggle to become a woman fully and solely responsible for herself. Crippled by multiple sclerosis, frustrated and maddened by chronic depression and acute agoraphobia, Mairs explores the roots of her "dis-ease." But she does not allow herself to be diminished by cultural assumptions or illness. She has learned to swagger in the face of unusual rigors and loss, and in these essays, Mairs shares with us the lessons of her life so that we too may learn how to establish the plaintext of our own existence.
