Woman Rule

Men in the Beat Generation felt as if they could cheat on their wives and girlfriends, many of the woman were muses but had their own talents. Some woman were proud to have inspired the Beatnik men and get no fame from it. Some were content writers on their own who also had their own generation, on page 103 Eileen Kaufman explains, "I knew all the beat writers and artists...it was a joyful time of communication with kindred souls that only was extended when the hippie movement came in. We were precursors of that community, and we were happy to have influenced their loving feeling." I feel as if woman could have been more inspiring but it just wasn't as widely known, although all the members though small, contributed to the Beat Generation. The book contains forty members of woman some artists some poets and how they inspired other woman.
