“By spending years and years living entirely for yourself, thinking only about yourself, and having responsibility to no one but yourself, you end up inadvertently extending the introverted existence of a teenager deep into middle age.”
― Danielle Crittenden, WHAT OUR MOTHERS DIDN'T TELL US: Why Happiness Eludes the Modern Woman

“Thirty years ago, the problem was that too many people failed to see that while women were women, they were also human, and they were being denied the ability to express and fulfill their human potential outside the home. The modern problem with no name is, I believe, exactly the reverse of the old one: While we now recognise that women are human, we blind ourselves to the fact that we are also women. If we feel stunted and oppressed when denied the chance to realise our human potential, we suffer every bit as much when cut off from those aspects of life that are distinctly and uniquely female.”
