Louisa May AlcottThe emerging woman ... will be strong-minded, strong-hearted, strong-souled, and strong-bodied...strength and beauty must go together.
About This Quote
The emerging woman...will be strong-minded, strong-hearted, strong-souled, and strong-bodied, but she will also be sensitive, gentle and feminine. She will be brave, courageous and resolute, but at the same time modest and reserved. She will be versatile and resourceful as well as intelligent. In short, she is a woman with a spirit of adventure.
But she also has the quality of modesty and reserve which is a quality which is not always found in a woman. A woman with these qualities will surely make a success of her life.
