Extremes Quote by Elisabeth Shue

“My mom had started to go to work when I was nine or ten, so I was aware of women trying to find their own identities by working. But I was still influenced by men to such an extreme. I wanted to play their games and wanted to compete in their world and be like them.” quote by Elisabeth Shue — Download Open image
