A woman must wait for her ovaries to die before she can get her rightful personality back. Post-menstrual is the same as pre-menstrual; I am once again what I was before the age of twelve: a female human being who knows that a month has thirty day, not twenty-five, and who can spend every one of them free of the shackles of that defect of body and mind known as femininity. Florence King
About This Quote

When women are pregnant, they are given a gift, a gift that they must make the best of. They are given the gift of motherhood. As soon as the baby is born, however, their gift is taken away. They are once again considered just another female human being who knows that a month has thirty day, not twenty-five.

They are once again considered to be subject to the instincts that have dominated them for so long. Yet just because they can’t remember all of their life doesn’t mean that they should be treated like children. A woman should be allowed to show her feminine side when she wants without being looked down upon.
