Rhesus Negative Woman

Famous quotes containing the words negative and/or woman:

    “Mothers often are too easily intimidated by their children’s negative reactions...When the child cries or is unhappy, the mother reads this as meaning that she is a failure. This is why it is so important for a mother to know...that the process of growing up involves by definition things that her child is not going to like. Her job is not to create a bed of roses, but to help him learn how to pick his way through the thorns.”
    —Elaine Heffner (20th century)

    “It is only in the act of nursing that a woman realizes her motherhood in visible and tangible fashion; it is a joy of every moment.”
    —HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)
