Famous quotes containing the words solo and/or female:
“All mothers need instruction, nurturing, and an understanding mentor after the birth of a baby, but in this age of fast foods, fast tracks, and fast lanes, it doesn’t always happen. While we live in a society that provides recognition for just about every life event—from baptisms to bar mitzvahs, from wedding vows to funeral rites—the entry into parenting seems to be a solo flight, with nothing and no one to mark formally the new mom’s entry into motherhood.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
“Most women defend themselves. It is the female of the species—it is the tigress and lioness in you—which tends to defend when attacked.”
—Margaret Thatcher (b. 1925)
