"A woman is a study in contrast. I am strong but also soft. I am emotional and logical. I am beautiful but it does not define me. I feel defiance but also uncertainty. I am gentle but rage courses through me. I am a witch but also a saint. I am proud to be a woman, yet I cannot help but wonder if life would be easier if I were not. I am smart. I am not perfect but I am expected to be.
I am all of these. I am a woman."
