“I’m tired of earning my own living, paying my own bills, raising my own child.

It’s so hard to be a feminist if you are a woman.”

“To be sure, we have inherited abilities, but our development we owe to thousands of influences coming from the world around us from which we appropriate what we can and what is suitable to us.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
