Quotes by Janina Ramírez (?)

“Knowing that people of different classes, backgrounds, races, religions, disabilities, genders and sexual orientations have always been a part of history allows us to find ourselves in the past. It also serves to level the playing field going forward. It wasn't just rich and powerful men who built the modern world. Women have always been a part of it, as has the full range of human diversity, but we are only now beginning to see what has been hidden in plain sight.”
― Janina Ramírez, Femina: A New History of the Middle Ages, Through the Women Written Out of it

“If sources are to continually reinforce an idea of a past where women haven't contributed, women will feel they have always been invisible. We need a new relationship with the past, one which we can all feel a part of.”
― Janina Ramírez, Femina: A New History of the Middle Ages, Through the Women Written Out of it
