Growing up in a house of five girls, I couldn't help but glance at a fashion magazine or two.
I always enjoyed getting dolled up. I grew up surrounded by a bunch of women so you know there were always hair/makeup, clothes, shoes and other girly things around.
I grew up in a house of all girls, which was interesting. I think it made me a lot less catty because a lot of girls, especially who are around my age, are very catty and very mean to each other.
I was raised by my father; I was daddy's girl.
I was raised by women. I have my parents, but I have two older sisters and I would learn from them about what is a female and what is a girl and what is an adolescent and what is a young woman and I was very close to them.
I think it's very hard in this day and age to raise little girls with morals, ethics and values, and them knowing that they are precious creations and that they are important.
I feel like I think like a woman because I grew up with my mother and my sister, so I've just been programmed to think like a girl.
I am one of three sisters and went to an all-girls grammar school so I'm used to being around girls.
I definitely have a soft spot for women. I was raised by women - my mom and two older sisters. I've been surrounded by estrogen since I was born.
Three of my novels and a good number of my short stories are told from the point of view of men. I was brought up in a house of women.
I was brought up by two women: my mother and my grandmother.
I didn't have a father growing up, and I was raised with all women, and I didn't really understand men. I thought they were like women, right?
I was sent to ballet classes when I was a little girl. I wasn't very good, but it's that thing where little girls always try ballet, or whatever.
I grew up raised by my mom and my two sisters, so I never had a real male influence in my life. I never really understood heterosexual male relationships.
I was raised by a woman and I'm the middle child of two sisters who are young Black women.
I was raised by women. The men in my life were either not there or not good when they were there.
I was raised in a very old fashioned Ireland where women were reared to be lovely.
