About This Quote

The desire to be romanced lies deep in the heart of every women. It is for such that you were made. Are you ARE romanced, and ever will be. Brenda Ueland wrote: “The great task of my generation is to find a way of living together as sisters and brothers.

The struggle for this new kind of society is far from over; it is just beginning, and we must all participate in it, men and women alike.” This quote is about how she learned that sometimes being feminine can be better than being masculine. She saw masculinity as something that was not romantic but instead aggressive and domineering. She saw women as being more sensitive, loving, loyal, and forgiving than men are.

When she was growing up, her father would always tell her to “be a man” so she could have success in life instead of being a woman who only had romantic love in life.
