More quotes by Caryl Rivers
Men have jobs, while women have Roles: Mother, Wife, Goddess, Temptress, etc. That's probably why it's so hard for women to rewrite the rules. You're not just changing a job description, but an ancient myth. You're revising the Bible, Poetry, Legend and Psychoanalytic Scripture.

Caryl Rivers
Guilt implanted at a tender age is not easy to destroy. A weed, it sprouts in unexpected places.
Caryl Rivers

Caryl Rivers
