What does a library card represent to Moran in the memoir, How to be a Woman?

A library card is Moran’s ticket to other worlds as a poor, lonely teenager. Through books, Moran learned about sex and feminism and began to put together her own view of society and culture. Music and television, as well as reading, helped Moran feel connected to the world despite her isolation in a small town and working class family. Ultimately, Moran’s immersion in reading propelled her into an interest in writing, and her entire career.
