"And one can argue that the pain involved grants an aura of exclusivity to what from the outside can appear to be a privileged fellowship. But what is even more convincing to me is that labor is one of the few experiences through which women have truly become heroic. Men have war; women have childbirth. And with all heroic enterprises, the greater the challenge, the greater the feat ... If we acknowledge that the pain of labor is like any other pain, without any symbolic weight and with even a brief respite between contractions, then we no longer have to fear labor as the trial of our womanhood."
