Women are clearly aware of the dualism of their role, that is, the role of Mother at home and the role of Woman outside the home.

Everything, which is concerned in the universality of the idea and
the abstract & speculative quest for the truth, is out of women's domain.

Women should know the silent patience and the dedication of her life to her family.

For women, ambition is not consistent with happiness.

The suffering as a mother is the tax which is charged women for going to heaven.

They make us believe that the motherhood is an instinct, but the truth is that the social system has forced it upon women.

When women are forced to be mothers, they might bring up unhappy children or adults with mental illness.
