“Women were always telling each other to be happy with what they had, that it was the small things that mattered most. And she was happy and appreciative, but she didn't mean that the big things weren't important either. It didn't mean that the big things outside world weren't worth going after. Excitement, drive, success--these were the things that fueled a woman too. They gave her gravitas--weight in the world. How could a woman really be content unless she knew that she'd lived up to her true potential, or at least given her best shot?”
