For me, one of the exciting parts of writing fiction is that we get to include all the people so often erased from history. I mean, we know they existed because they've always existed, but there's no "evidence." I know you would never "make stuff up,'' but you've studied so much about these missing women's eras and everything that surrounded them. Do you think fable or myth or an imagining (clearly labelled as such) has a place in a memoir?

To me the real hero of our whole story is Sheva Biala. Her story shines brightest, in my opinion.
