Gift From the Sea

by Anne Morrow Lindbergh

  Much of this exploration and new awareness is uncomfortable and painful for both men and women. Growth in awareness has always been painful. (One need only remember one’s own adolescence or watch one’s adolescent children.) But it does lead to greater independence and, eventually, cooperation in action. For the enormous problems that face the world today, in both the private and the public sphere, cannot be solved by women—or by men—alone. They can only be surmounted by men and women side by side.
