por favor, ayuda! Es una linea de una ensayo que estoy traduciendo sobre mujeres escritoras a lo largo de la historia. La "ventana" es una metáfora que hace referencia a las posibilidades que una mujer tiene en la vida, una puerta que la literatura abre para ella....cualquier sugerencia is welcome!

Nobody can keep a woman´s eyes behind a closed window
Le he dado un poquito la vuelta, y así la sensación de enjaulamiento se la "traslado" directamente a la ventana.
