Can someone please correct this paragraph?

In contrast to Eavan Boland, Shirley Caesar, a gospel singer, has a different perspective of women. Caesar has the traditional view of women in her mind, gentle, sweet, and kind. Yet as her quote continues she also mentions how women also tend to show tough love to other living things. Caesar’s quote, “Women have a way of treating people more softly. We treat souls with kid gloves.” The phrase “kid gloves” can be interpreted to a reader as tough love, meaning that a woman will treat another person harshly or sternly with the intent to help them in the long run. Caesar implies that women have a way of being gentle in everything that they do, and this brings back the traditional role of a woman, as being kind and gentle. Similar to Boland, Caesar mentions, “have a way of treating people more softly” that all women are like this and the fact that Shirley Caesar is a woman implies that she herself is like this as well and that women will always will always have that characteristic about them.
