I really love the women of our generation. I think that we are the first set of women to really get the impression that there is nothing wrong or shameful with being single, or with finding something fulfilling outside of the home.
Most of us seem to know fairly early on that we have to value ourselves first.
Reading the resposes here reinforces that.

It may be said with rough accuracy that there are three stages in the life of a strong people. First, it is a small power, and fights small powers. Then it is a great power, and fights great powers. Then it is a great power, and fights small powers, but pretends that they are great powers, in order to rekindle the ashes of its ancient emotion and vanity.-- G.K. Chesterton
