A Lofty Ideal

This beautifully balanced description of the heroic women of America past is both refreshing and inspiring:

“They were courageous without being authoritative.
They were sympathetic, compassionate and considerate of the feelings of others without being driven by their emotions or obsessed with their feelings.
They enjoyed being feminine and beautiful without being slaves to fashion or their appearance.
They were firm of resolve without being feministically stubborn;
strong in faith, mind and character without being independent;
and self-disciplined without being self-centered.”
