Jennifer Ashley Quote

Englishwomen are resilient creatures. I do not know why people assume we are sweet and docile, innocent and weak. Mary unfolded her arms and rested her hands primly on her lap. Look at Boadicea, who led forces against the Roman army for a long, long time. Queen Elizabeth, who often had to remark she was 'only a woman' to spare the feelings of gentlemen she could outthink. Even Aunt Danae has survived three husbands and is entertaining thoughts of a fourth, on her own terms. You have no need to worry about me.
