"Sitting down and composing a letter provided women and men with a rare opportunity to contemplate their lives and (...) shape their experiences and emotions into a coherent and meaningful narrative. (...) The delay between writing and reading cleared a space for introspection, for organizing one's thoughts without regard to society's demands for immediate reaction and response".
