... well, if women’s work was never done, why trouble about how much of it wasn’t being accomplished at any given moment? Picture Quote #1

I gave you justice, it said, as I was taught it. And I gave you mercy, too, so far as I could. While I could not spare you pain and humiliation, I make you a gift of my own pains and humiliations, that yours might be easier to bear Picture Quote #1
