It was the women’s movement that put self-esteem back into “just a housewife,” rescuing our intelligence from the junk pile of “instinct” and making it human, deliberate, powerful.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“Moons and years pass by and are gone forever, but a beautiful moment shimmers through life a ray of light.”
