For we think back through our mothers if we are women.

Summary

This quote suggests that as women, our understanding and perspective are shaped by our mothers and the experiences they have passed down to us. It highlights the influence of intergenerational knowledge and how it shapes our identity, thoughts, and actions as women. Our mothers serve as a source of wisdom, traditions, and values that we internalize and carry with us, giving us a deeper understanding of our place in the world. By reflecting on our mothers' experiences, we gain insight into our own lives and the challenges faced by women throughout history.
