“Girls don't have to be nice," she says simply. "But they should stick together...The wider world wants you to think other women are drama...or catty.

“I am
Mavis Elizabeth Betterly.
I am
used to hard work.
I can
run a household better
than Mrs. Oblinger ever could.
What does it matter,
those things
that
hold me back?

What does it matter
when I make mistakes?
They don't
make me
who
I
am.”
― Caroline Starr Rose, May B.

“I always wanted to change the world. I know that's so corny. Of course everyone wants to change the world.

I want to help changes the rules, you know? To help make everything more fair. But no one cares about evening the playing field or changing the rules unless they have some kind of connection. I guess...well, that's what stories do. They connect people. Stories change hearts and then hearts change the world.”
