Quotes by Gloria:
I've yet to be on a campus where most women weren't worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. I've yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing. (One of my favorites, this is soooo true!!)
A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.
Each individual woman's body demands to be accepted on its own terms.
