Women! Are We Forgetting Who We Are?

by Susie Heath, The Essence of Womanhood

"Through the turmoil of the last century, at least in the Western world, women have won the battle of recognition, acceptance and toleration, and been allowed input into politics and the running of society. But what we have failed to recognise is the cost to us as feminine beings."

"This battling however has taken its toll in such a subtle way, creeping up on us in ways which are unimaginable.As we women assume masculine burdens we take on male characteristics to fit the job. Thus deprived of femininity and gentleness as our new male responsibility adds stress, strain and worry to our lives, our serenity vanishes and eventually our families suffer."

"We need to assert our feminine energy and intrinsic potency, not our masculine force to make the difference; to continue to develop as the talented, extraordinarily powerful women we have the capability of becoming. We need to do it in a feminine way, using our feminine essence, working from feminine values, not trying to be men in frocks."
