Quote:
"I felt the responsibility for finding out what was most important about women now [...]. I researched, and more and more I realized that women centre their whole lives in relationship to marriage. Whether or not to marry at eighteen. At least, for my generation it was that—marriage or career? Marriage meant prison. Career meant freedom, adventure, risk—all of which are very masculine."
-- Mireille Dansereau
