Consciousness Quote by Laurie Simmons

“I think, with my own daughters, rather than preaching a feminine agenda, I just really try to help them understand what it meant to be a woman in the late 20th century and the consciousness of how to be a woman in the 21st century: What is working for you and what is working against you.” quote by Laurie Simmons — Download Open image
