Prompt
Create an image of a middle-aged American woman, likely in her 50s, with a professional and approachable demeanor, sitting at a desk with a notebook and pen, surrounded by books and papers, with a few publications such as The Nation, The New York Times, and Ms. Magazine scattered around her. She should be wearing attire that suggests a mix of journalistic and academic environments. In the background, a subtle hint of a cityscape or a university setting, such as Columbia University, could be included to reflect her educational and professional background. The overall style should be realistic, with a warm and engaging color palette that conveys a sense of intelligence and curiosity. The image should capture her as a journalist, writer, and author, possibly with a slight smile to suggest her engagement with her work on topics such as labor rights, feminism, politics, and culture.
