I hope you look at your own life and recognize whether you are minimizing it, because I did.”

“The activism and advocacy geared towards bringing greater visibility, influence and authority of
women are not against men (somehow this perception thrives). The role of men can never be

“Mother," said little Pearl, "the sunshine does not love you. It runs away and hides itself, because it is afraid of something on your bosom. Now, see! There it is, playing, a good way off.

"And why not, Mother?" asked Pearl, stopping short, just at the beginning of her race. "Will it not come of its own accord, when I am a woman grown?”
