Quotes by Joan Bakewell (?)

“What the younger generations don’t have are
letters.” … “Why bother when you can e-mail,
phone or text.” … “As we contact each other
more and more”, … “there is, oddly, nothing
to show for it.”
― Joan Bakewell, The View From Here: Life At Seventy

“In the 1880s feminism - or ‘the women question’, as it was referred to then- concentrated on education. In the early twentieth century the single issue was the vote. But feminism isn’t a single issue anymore. It is the most fundamental shift in human consciousness since Darwin’s natural selection, the recalibration of humanity world- wide. It is a long slow process like the movement of the earth’s crust. Like the tectonic played it will buck and shudder. But it cannot come to an end. It cannot be written off. We are, after all, half the human race.”
― Joan Bakewell
