Quote

A strong woman is a woman determined to do something others are determined not be done.

Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail their failure must be but a challenge to others.

Such is the audacity of man, that he hath learned to counterfeit Nature, yea, and is so bold as to challenge her in her work.

Women must be the spokesmen for a new humanity arising out of the reconciliation of spirit and body.

The influence of a woman can be very great, especially now, in the present order or disorder of society, in which there is a kind of spiritual chill, a kind of moral fatigue, demanding reanimation. In order to produce this reanimation, the cooperation of woman is indispensable.

Perhaps what distinguishes my characters is their courage and spirit and a certain stubbornness which enables them to keep going even when facing a setback. I think this developed organically as I wrote, but also it came out of a desire to portray women as powerful and intelligent forces in the world.

A woman confronting men is a proper subject, it is inexhaustible.

Woman is a ray of God. She is not that earthly beloved: she is creative, not created.

A wise woman knows how to summon her courage and do what is right, rather than what is easy.
