Quotes by Ann Shen (?)

“You are never too old, too small, or too late to live the life you’re meant to lead. Especially if it means rewriting the rules to do it.”
― Ann Shen, Bad Girls Throughout History: 100 Remarkable Women Who Changed the World

“Everything we’ve gained has been hard-won by a woman who was willing to be bad in the best sense of the word.”
― Ann Shen, Bad Girls Throughout History: 100 Remarkable Women Who Changed the World

“To be a bad girl is to break any socially accepted rule. For some women, it’s the way they dress. For other girls, it’s the act of going to school. At one point, it was fighting for the right to vote. Anything we do outside the lines is immediately up for persecution.”
― Ann Shen, Bad Girls Throughout History: 100 Remarkable Women Who Changed the World
