Yes, but what are all these guises, aspects presentations? Only manifestations of what we all are at different times, according to... how these needs are pulled out of us. I write in these bald words the deepest lessons of my life, the truest substance of what I have learned.

Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Frances D. Gage and their followers.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Most literature on the culture of adolescence focuses on peer pressure as a negative force. Warnings about the "wrong crowd" read ...like tornado alerts in parent manuals. . . . It is a relative term that means different things in different places. In Fort Wayne, for example, the wrong crowd meant hanging out with liberal Democrats. In Connecticut, it meant kids who weren't planning to get a Ph.D. from Yale.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
