Who is Esther Williams and what is she like?
” “Esther Williams is a star from the forties who is elegant and very strong. She wasn’t just a pretty star; she could swim. She had elegance, grace and enormous strength. I admired her for this combination of qualities,” she responded. I asked her if there were anyone in her life or any part of herself that was like Esther Williams. She laughed and told me that it took her forty two years to come to a place in her life where she felt secure in her own sexuality and her own strength. Previously she had always felt that she had to choose to be either the pretty woman or the strong woman and that now she felt rather like Esther Williams. It was a very happy dream for her.
