Ana Castillo Quotes

When Our Mother Is Seen Only As The One-dimensional Mary Of Modern Times, Instead Of The Great Dual Force Of Life And Death, She Is Relegated To The Same Second-class Status Of Most Women In The World. She Is Without Desires Of Her Own, Selfless And Sexless Except For Her Womb. She Is The Cook, The Mistress, Bearer And Caretaker Of Children And Men. Men Call Upon Her And Carry Her Love And Magic To Form A Formidable Fortress, A Team Of Cannons To Protect Them Against Their Enemies. But For A Long, Long Time The Wars That Women Have Been Left To Wage On Behalf Of Men, On Behalf Of The Human Race, Have Started Much Sooner, In The Home, In Front Of The Hearth, In The Womb. We Do What We Must To Protect And Provide For Our Young Our Families, Our Tribes
