Authorship not stated

You play Mary Olivier, the only girl among brothers in a house where lessons and futures are handed out by sex before anyone asks about aptitude. Your brother Mark is being sent away to school; you press your mother and father on why the world's work is closed to watching, let alone doing. Before dawn, Mark presses a map into your hands with a road drawn past its edge and your name written on it, and promises to tell you first where it leads.
