    —Bonnie Carr (c. early 1930s)

    “My Life had stood—a Loaded Gun—
    In Corners—till a Day

    And carried Me away—”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    “They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
