Quotes by Maxine Leeds Craig (?)

“When and where there is repression, what a woman does when she gets dressed in the morning may be considered political. Wearing or not wearing a veil, disobeying laws that prohibit transgender dressing, or wearing a large Afro in an institution that seeks to diminish the formation of racial alliances are all actions that can serve as challenges to domination”
― Maxine Leeds Craig, Ain't I a Beauty Queen?: Black Women, Beauty, and the Politics of Race

tags: afro, beauty, beauty-queen, black-women, oppression, politics, politics-of-hair, racism, veil, women
