Читать книгу If Women Ran the World, Sh*t Would Get Done - Shelly Rachanow - Страница 8

Women do so much to nurture, protect, and heal our families. From the days when we emptied chamber pots, trudged through the snow to the apothecary, and scoped out the local butcher's son as a potential sonin- law, to today, when we clean out an Ernie-and-Bert potty, drive to the pharmacy at 4:00 a.m., and remind our my-life-is-over teenager that she's wonderful even though Joe (or was it Tom?) hasn't called, women are always doing for the people we love, and we're not afraid to use strong language or just-manicured fingernails if required.

Like Shirley MacLaine in the movie Terms of Endearment, we'll run around a nurse's station like a banshee screaming, “My daughter is in pain. Give her the shot. Do you understand me? Give my daughter the shot!” without a second thought as to what someone might say or think.

Women do whatever we must to keep our families safe, protected, and loved. We always have. It's what we do.
