Favorite Quotes: Adrienne Rich on Motherhood

"Because young humans remain dependent on nurture for a much longer period than other animals, and because of the division of labor long established in human groups...most of us first know both love and disappointment, power and tenderness, in the person of a woman."

Adrienne Rich, Of Motherhood Born:  Motherhood as an Experience and Institution
