Quote by Francis H. Bradley
We say that a girl with her doll anticipates the mother. It is more true, perhaps, that most mothers are still but children with playthings.
Summary
This quote suggests that when a girl plays with her doll, she is imitating and preparing for her future role as a mother. However, it implies that many actual mothers may still have a childlike mentality and treat their own children as toys or playthings rather than fully embracing the responsibilities and maturity required of motherhood. The quote highlights the idea that just because someone becomes a mother, it does not guarantee that they will automatically exhibit the qualities and behavior expected of a mature parent.
