Women

[jennyaxe]

I'm rereading a Sheri Tepper book, and there's a quote I've found it hard to remember, so I thought I'd post it this time...

There is hope in two women, help in three women, strength in four, joy in five, power in six, and against seven, no gate may stand.

There. I hope I can remember it now...

Yes, that's the one I'm rereading now, but the quote was in one of her other books, too. I think it might have been The Gate to Women's Country but I'm not sure.

I don't remember who I snarfed the icon from but I really like it.

It's from The Gate I believe. I have pretty much every Tepper written, so if you feel the need to borrow one you haven't read give me a shout. I read my first Tepper at the instigation of someone else and started with Grass (a truly excellent read). I now have Raising the Stone, Grass, The Awakeners, The Gate to Women's Country, Six Moon Dance, Singer from the Sea, Beauty, Shadow's End, Sideshow, A Plague of Angels and The Family Tree.

She infuriates me so much with her feminist/anti-men shoulder chip, but she writes a damned good book.
