    —Leo V. Gordon, U.S. screenwriter, and Arthur Hiller. Major Craig (Rock Hudson)

    “Fathers are still considered the most important “doers” in our culture, and in most families they are that. Girls see them as the family authorities on careers, and so fathers’ encouragement and counsel is important to them. When fathers don’t take their daughters’ achievements and plans seriously, girls sometimes have trouble taking themselves seriously.”
    —Stella Chess (20th century)
