Colette Dowling Frases y Citas

“Todo lo que se relaciona con la manera en que fuimos criadas nos ha venido diciendo que hemos de formar parte de alguien más, que debemos ser protegidas, apoyadas y animadas por la felicidad conyugal hasta el día de la muerte. Por supuesto, fuimos descubriendo la mentira que encerraba esta afirmación.”

Perfect Women: Hidden Fears of Inadequacy and the Drive to Perform (1988), p. 249

"The Cinderella Syndrome" http://www.nytimes.com/1981/03/22/magazine/the-cinderella-syndrome.html?pagewanted=all, The New York Times (22 March 1981)

“[The Cinderella Complex] used to hit girls of sixteen or seventeen, preventing them, often, from going to college, hastening them into early marriages. Now it tends to hit women after college—after they've been out in the world awhile. When the first thrill of freedom subsides and anxiety rises to take its place, they begin to be tugged by that old yearning for safety: the wish to be saved.”

“Lack of confidence leads us into the dark waters of envy. We see men are functioning without hang-ups—and like girls who envy the unfettered freedom of older brothers, we find it easier to focus on how "lucky" the men are and how "unlucky" we are. Sequestered in an unfair situation, we don't have to do anything about achieving the competence and self-esteem we so admire in others.”

“We have only one real shot at "liberation," and that is to emancipate ourselves from within. It is the thesis of this book that personal, psychological dependency—the deep wish to be taken care of by others—is the chief force holding women down today. I call this "The Cinderella Complex"—a network of largely repressed attitudes and fears that keeps women in a kind of half-light, retreating from the full use of their minds and creativity. Like Cinderella, women today are still waiting for something external to "transform their lives."”
