I have this great little calendar which sits on my desk. Everyday I look forward to peeling off another page to reveal the current day's quote from a famous woman in history. I had more pages to peal off due to the long weekend. Upon discovery of last Monday's quote I feel it most appropriate, especially since 'wedding season' is in full swing:
Marriage, to women as to men, must be a luxury, not a necessity; an incident of life, not all of it.
(Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) American suffragist and abolitionist)
Now granted, Susan (in addition to other suffragists) is somewhat of a controversial figure in history. However this quotation highlights a strong opinion that I have long held. Thanks Susan, for letting me know that I am not the only woman to have ever felt this way, particularly during wedding season.
