The Princess and the Pioneer

Quoted from Femina--- by Nancy Wilson
In one of the books I was reading recently, there was an offhand comment about how there are really only two kinds of women: the princess and the pioneer. I was struck by the wisdom and insight in this observation, and the more I thought about it, the more it seems to really sum up how women generally handle life. We either are the kind who are willing to roll up our sleeves and dive into the business at hand, even if it is something we have never done before; or we are looking around for the people who are going to be taking care of us.
I submit the idea---couldn't I look like a princess,
but act like a pioneer?
I know she can!

I think that is a very fine idea. I too have noticed even within my own family that some of us women just get on with it and others seem to plan not to cope.

There's no reason why a pioneer spirit shouldn't look her best though!
