Katherine Mansfield Quotes
The trouble with women like me is---they can’t keep their nerves out of the job in hand... I walk about with a mind full of ghosts of saucepans and primus stoves and ‘Will there be enough to go round?’ I loathe myself, today. I detest this woman who ‘superintends’ you and rushes about, slamming doors and slopping water---all untidy with her blouse out and her nails grimed.

About
Katherine Mansfield was a prominent modernist writer of short fiction who was born and brought up in colonial New Zealand and wrote under the pen name of Katherine Mansfield. When she was 19, Mansfield left New Zealand and settled in the United Kingdom, where she became a friend of modernist writers such as D.H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf. In 1917 she was diagnosed with extrapulmonary tuberculosis, which led to her death at the age of 34.
