More From Fannie Flagg

I have had extreme ups and downs. the biggest thing i learned after i broke my wrist is to never give up. nothing in life will ever come easy. it depends on how you deal with those obstacles and how you overcome those obstacles. if you can overcome them, you're a stronger person. if you make mistakes along the way, as long as you never make that same mistake again, you're a successful person.

Feminism is really the right of women to be full human beings and to not be defined only by their childbearing function. feminism is really the right of women to be human beings. that's it, yet that's so frightening to a lot of people. a full human being wants satisfying work and love. a full human being is entitled to both, and is not simply defined by only one aspect of her being.
