"Be wicked, be brave, be drunk, be reckless, be dissolute, be despotic, be an anarchist, be a religious fanatic, be a suffragette, be anything you like, but for
pity's sake be it to the top of your bent. Live -- live fully, live passionately, live disastrously au besoin."
~ Violet Trefusis to Vita Sackville-West, October [1918] Feminine Whiles (rather than wiles) reflects what can happen to women while
we are busy fulfilling our "proper" roles; how we can lose ourselves while living the lives we´ve been told we always wanted. This is the story of how I lost myself and the journey to
regain the essential self.Feminine Whiles is dedicated to all women who refuse to feel shame in who they are; individuals who strive to sort the wheat from the chaff, to listen with their hearts as well as their
ears, who refuse to blindly accept another's opinion of themselves as fact, who struggle to discover who they really are and what they truly believe... and for the strength to
defend their personal truths against those who would deny them. If life is what happens while we´re busy making plans, then it´s time to start planning less and living more. |
