“A good deal of literature on the subject of women’s power states that men are afraid of women’s power. I always want to exclaim ‘Mother of God! So many women themselves are afraid of women’s power!’ For the old feminine attributes and forces are vast, and they are formidable. It is understandable that the first time they come face-to-face with the Old Wild Powers, both men and women take one anxious look and make tracks; all you see of them is flying paw-pads and frightened tails.”
