Womens courage is rather different from mens. The fact that women have to bring up children and look after husbands makes them braver at facing long-term issues, such as illness. Men are more immediately courageous. Lots of people are brave in battle. – Mary Wesley

But we are less likely to mention thinking about other people. – Elaine N. Aron
