Quotes by Kim Brooks

Single motherhood is an amazing thing; it's a blessing.

Quotes by Joan Blades

A huge part of keeping women in their place has to do with creating a really limited definition of what a 'real' woman is like.

Quotes by Ezra Taft Benson

Quotes by Eva Amurri

Quotes by Constance Marie

Because there is less female storytelling, especially motherhood storytelling, there has been immense pressure on my storytelling to represent more people, and to do so in a sort of unrealistic way.

Quotes by Catherine Reitman

There's so much dishonesty with motherhood in general... The truth is it's just a lot of embarrassing, humiliating moments.

Quotes by Catherine Reitman

I didn't have my first child until I was 40. I actually learned about motherhood from management.

Quotes by Carol Bartz

It's been so wonderful to hear the realities behind motherhood.

Quotes by Camilla Luddington

Now that virtually every career is an option for ambitious girls, it can no longer be considered regressive or reactionary to reintroduce discussion of marriage and motherhood to primary education. We certainly do not want to return to the simplistic duality of home economics classes for girls and wood shop for boys.

Quotes by Camille Paglia

In Hindu societies, especially overprotected patriarchal families like mine, daughters are not at all desirable. They are trouble. And a mother who, as mine did, has three daughters, no sons, is supposed to go and hang herself, kill herself, because it is such an unlucky kind of motherhood to have.

Quotes by Bharati Mukherjee

In many ways, being pregnant and working were more difficult than motherhood.

Quotes by Barbara Walters

Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws.

Quotes by Barbara Kingsolver

Motherhood is far better than I expected. I love it with all of my heart.

Quotes by Ayesha Curry

I work hard and try to combine a demanding career with motherhood.

Quotes by Ayelet Shaked

Quotes by Annie Lennox

I didn't really inhabit myself until I was in my 30s. And motherhood is an epic event. You can't help but be altered by it - and it is important to be.

Quotes by Anne-Marie Duff

Motherhood is like a big sleeping bag of guilt.

Quotes by Anna Faris

Motherhood was my career. I'm totally satisfied with that.

Quotes by Ann Romney

There's a motherhood penalty because we've been long taught things that are stigmatized about motherhood. As workers, we don't want to talk about our kids at work. We're afraid to, or that when we leave at 5:30 to relieve the sitter we're somehow going to be diminished.

Quotes by Alissa Quart

Mothers suffer in the workplace. That fact is by now so painfully familiar it even has a name: the motherhood penalty.

Quotes by Alissa Quart

I love being a mom and having two kids. But I've had two C-sections, and I have suffered enough. That's my favourite mantra when it comes to motherhood.

Quotes by Ali Wong

I've seen many female comics that a lot of people haven't heard of who are so funny, and I saw them come up, and they were working so hard, and then all of a sudden they had a baby, and they just got tied up in motherhood, and eventually, they kind of just stopped doing stand-up, and I thought it was such a shame.

Quotes by Ali Wong

Motherhood changes everything.
