Fatherhood Quote by Therese Anne Fowler

“We can have romance, love, sex, respect, self-respect, and fulfilling employment in whatever interests us, if we like. Motherhood doesn’t need to be our whole lives—it can be one feature in a woman’s broader life, the same as fatherhood is for men.” quote by Therese Anne Fowler
