Quotes by Stephanie Giese (?)

“I give Danielle the run-down of my latest encounter with Professor There’s-No-Such-Thing-As-A-Good-Female-Perspective. “He did not.” She stops short, her dark ponytail swinging as she shakes her head. “That’s terrible. Are you going to report him?” “For what? Not liking my story? It’s not against any rules for him to not like my work. If I complain, it will only look like I’m whining because I can’t handle criticism.” “This is so frustrating. That jerk.” “Yeah, well. What else is new? This is the kind of stupid thing women in the arts have been fighting against since the beginning of time.”
