Book cover for Who Is Maud Dixon?
“By taking away that sacred pain, the medical-industrial complex is effectively eroding the mother-child relationship. That pain bonds you. It’s an honor and a privilege to become a mother. You have to earn it.”

Miranda July
“Without a child I could dance across the sexism of my era, whereas becoming a mother shoved my face right down into it.”
Miranda July, All Fours

Pooja Lakshmin
“Real self-care, as you’ll see, is not a one-stop shop like a fancy spa retreat or a journaling app; it’s an internal process that involves making difficult decisions that will pay off tenfold in the long run as a life built around the relationships and activities that matter most to you.”
Pooja Lakshmin, Real Self-Care: A Transformative Program for Redefining Wellness

Dana Suskind
“One of the greatest ironies is that the gender stereotypes seem to be a legacy handed down from mother to daughter, a reflection of one generation’s insecurity being passed on to the next generation, ad infinitum. Moms consistently overestimate their sons’ math abilities while underestimating their daughters’, even when confronted with actual math achievement.”
Dana Suskind, Thirty Million Words: Building a Child's Brain

Jen Lancaster
“if she chooses to be happy now, I’ll support it until she’s ready to be unhappy, and then I’ll be there too. That’s what besties do.”
Jen Lancaster, The Anti-Heroes

Dana Suskind
“When your self-image is as a math “nonperformer” and you’re challenged to learn a math skill, your brain uses up your intellectual energy by arguing with you that you really can’t do it, a kind of mental barricade on the road to accomplishment. You may inherently have the ability to learn it, but that ability is eroded by the roiling doubts that wear it away. Even girls who do well in math typically assess themselves as inferior to their male counterparts, self-stereotyping apparent in girls as young as seven. Shown to affect long-term achievement, it’s hard not to equate this with the relatively small numbers of women going into math, engineering, and computer science.”
Dana Suskind, Thirty Million Words: Building a Child's Brain
