“With two sons born eighteen months apart, I operated mainly on automatic pilot through the ceaseless activity of their early childhood. I remember opening the refrigerator late one night and finding a roll of aluminum foil next to a pair of small red tennies. Certain that I was responsible for the refrigerated shoes, I quickly closed the door and ran upstairs to make sure I had put the babies in their cribs instead of the linen closet.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“... self-determination and self-defense go hand in hand.”
—Anonymous, U.S. woman. As quoted in Fugitive Information, ch. 8, by Kay Leigh Hagan (1993)
