A woman author who I love to read is Isabel Allende. Her words in the book "My Invented Country" had a particular appeal to me and influenced the image shown here:
The world is a vale of tears that we come here only to suffer.
Talking about Chilean women (to me it means most Catholic-bred women):
Most are martyrs by vocation: they are the first up to wait on their families and the last to go to bed; they take pride in suffering and sacrificing. They sigh and weep with great gusto as they tell one another the stories of abuse from husband and children!
