Quotes by Nisi Shawl (?)

“I've found something out about myself. I can't bow to another man.”
― Nisi Shawl, Everfair

“The steampunk genre often works as a form of alternate history, showing us how small changes to what actually happened might have resulted in momentous differences: clockwork Victorian-era computers, commercial transcontinental dirigible lines, and a host of other wonders. This is that kind of book.”
― Nisi Shawl, Everfair
