"Writing was the first thing that occurred to me when I was married," she recalls. She thought she might do the same thing now, between sorting laundry and fixing dinner, while waiting to have children. She was 22-six weeks older than Plath-and, like Plath, had written her way into and out of adolescence, observing friends and converting their goings-on into stories in her mind and journals. Her husband's job took them immediately to Philadelphia, where Ann joined the ranks of wives in ruffled aprons. Long-limbed, pretty and fresh, Ann Weldy graduated from college right into the safe haven of marriage, as expected of young women in 1954. She looked very Sylvia Plath, a sorority girl with a soft pageboy, saddle shoes and a Peter Pan collar buttoned to the neck under a twinset cardigan.
