Clara Fraser

“The correct course lies in a synthesis of the two poles of the women’s movement—its special nature and its general nature—and in always making the interrelationship clear. We are independent and connected; we have an equal and dual responsibility—to ourselves and to others. The interpenetration itself is more important than either the separateness of our oppression as women or the togetherness of our role as political radicals. We refuse to be forced to choose sides in a game of false contradictions. Logically, historically and politically, we are able to reconcile what is atone and the same time identical and different. Through dialectic instead of formal, mechanistic reasoning, we can chart our own course.”
