She wasn't a coward If she were she would have retreated back into her shell years before and pulled back entirely from life. She was a fighter. Life knocked her down, and she coped by getting up and moving on.

About This Quote

When it comes to women, many of us grew up believing that all women are supposed to be afraid. They hide themselves away and never step out of their own apartment. We were taught that they are supposed to be afraid of the world, the subject of it all. They are supposed to run away from anything that could possibly hurt them.

Women who hide themselves away are cowards. They are weak, submissive, and most importantly they are not true women.
