“In the older times it was seldom said to little girls, as it always has been said to boys, that they ought to have some definite plan, while they were children, what to be and do when they were grown up. There was usually but one path open before them, to become good wives and housekeepers. And the ambition of most girls was to follow their mothers' footsteps in this direction; a natural and laudable ambition. But girls, as well as boys, must often have been conscious of their own peculiar capabilities,--must have desired to cultivate and make use of their individual powers.” WellsChildrenLittlesHas BeensSaidUseMotherGirlIndividualNaturalBoysPathWifePlansOughtAmbitionConsciousPeculiarCapabilityDefiniteFootstepsGood WifeHousekeepersIndividual Power Book:A New England girlhood Source: A New England girlhood
“People who take books on sex to bed become frigid. You get self-conscious. You can't think a story. You can't think, "I shall do a story to improve mankind." Well, it's nonsense. All the great stories, all the really worthwhile plays, are emotional experiences. If you have to ask yourself whether or not you love a girl or you love a boy, forget it. You don't. A story is the same way. You either feel a story and need to write it, or you better not write it.” PeopleIfsThinkingWayNeedsFeelsWritingWellsBookSelfPlayStoriesGirlAsksSexForgetBoysMankindEmotionalBedConsciousNonsenseWorthwhileForget ItSelf ConsciousFrigid Author:Ray Bradbury
“I felt like I had to be conscious of myself as a girl for the first time. I had to be more feminine. I had to look a certain way.

“There was things just like not being able to date or - I'm talking like 15, 16 - like just certain things that my friends started to do.

There were just certain things that - it's not that I couldn't do all of those things.

“As conscious adult women, if we really do care about the state of girls and women worldwide, we need to train this next generation of girls because they are going to be the ones taking over and they are going to be the ones that shift this paradigm. Unfortunately for our generation, we've been raised in a society where greed trumps all. In other words, where the bottom line is money...where money affects how we perceive each other, and how we perceive ourselves and our value. We need to break that now with this younger generation.” CareValuesGirlBreakConsciousTrainBottomGreedPerceiveNext GenerationParadigmYounger Generation Author:Kamala Lopez
“As conscious adult women, we need to instill a different value system. Actually, it is an innate value system. We need to tell the world that being compassionate about other people does not make you weak, and it is not intrinsically a female trait. It is a trait of the evolved human being, and it is a trait that we need to hold up as something of great worth. As women, we need to promote that, emphasize that, and nurture that.
