There are so many young women who tip over into being a facsimile: they don't really inhabit their lives or their bodies.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Today's young women don't really see inequities until they go out into the real world.
Most women are not as young as they are painted.
I see a lot of women of every age trying to be something else. I see them trying to imitate behaviors that they think belong to successful people.
Too often, older women are seen as victims, but I know lots of formidable women who have marvellous jobs as well as a full erotic life, and children and friends and family.
Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.
Women must learn to find self-worth within themselves, not through others. It is important to carve out a place just for you.
In general, I'm fascinated by women who exist outside of society's mores and values.
So few grown women like their lives.
There's such an array of brilliant roles for young women. You read all these amazing young women going through different stages in their life - different stages, different fascinations, different textualities, different friendships.
Young women today, as in the fifties, find themselves entering the big world and having to make choices.
