Feminine wisdom

Vanessa, a barista at Espresso Metro, left this note on the register.
As much as I love the bleakness of Beckett and the existentialists, there's something very male about it. Almost all their heroes are men. Few women are in their world.
Beckett wrote of women, "they give birth astride a grave." Would any woman write that?

I note another thoughtful coustomer added the extra "A" to "Party" there . . . leaves me wondering to which Beckett play he was referrring.
