“Hi ha una nova koiné dels gustos i del sabors, una fruita més dolça i rodona, una fruita que anivella als consumidors que pensen que si tothom té la mateixa poma, ningú no en tindrà cap millor que la seva. El nou comunisme: si les pomes són idèntiques, el consumidor no tindrà dubtes. I, això encara és més important, si els consumidors acaben sent idèntics, les pomes no tindran dubtes a l'hora d'escollir-los a ells, com passa amb els models de cotxe, amb les sèries de televisió o amb la roba. És molt difícil comprar tant sense vendre's una mica cada vegada.”

“... no se'n va perdre ni una paraula. Va pensar Té raó. Les històries s'assemblen, les històries es repeteixen. Són com els cercles que es dibuixen a l'aigua. Un moviment en genera molts d'altres. Els humans no som tan originals com ens pensem.”

“Crec que no és gaire lluny del que Weil volia trobar a la fàbrica, la possibilitat en forma d’autorització moral per donar testimoni, per poder parlar-ne. A mi em passa una cosa molt similar amb els amics, la família i les situacions que viuen: com pots parlar de la guerra, mantenint aquesta distància variable? No sé si estic legitimat per fer-ho, d’aquí, suposo, l’acumulació d’hores de voluntariat, la quantitat de documents que busco o la cerca en el record dels Monegres, com si hagués de menester tots aquests comprovants per tenir alguna cosa a dir, per poder fer creure al lector que el meu relat té alguna importància. Necessito tenir un tiquet, el comprovant de l’experiència. No tinc una síndrome de l’impostor, vés, l’acceptació que no es pot ser mai una altra cosa, que el que explico sempre tindrà una aproximació imperfecta. «Todo lo que tengo traigo», que deia la iaia María.”

“Feminism and all movements for social progress inevitably contain a gap between what’s on paper and what’s really going on: between the feminism proclaimed and the feminism enacted, the women’s rights legislated and the women’s rights enforced, the progress in policy and the progress in culture.
Women of Generation X, of which I represent the youngest contingent, had more freedom than their mothers in meaningful ways. We were the first full beneficiaries of Title IX protections guaranteeing access to education and outlawing sexual discrimination in the workplace. We were entering our first romantic partnerships as the Violence Against Women Act became law. But the cultural cues we received growing up were full of gaps and dissonance.”

“Working-class women might not be fighting for a cause with words, time, and money they don’t have, but they possess an unsurpassed wisdom about the way gender works in the world. Take, for example, the concept of intersectionality. A working-class woman of color might not know that word, but she knows better than anyone how her race, gender, and economic struggles intertwine.
There is, then, intellectual knowledge—the stuff of research studies and think pieces—and there is experiential knowing. Both are important, and women from all backgrounds might possess both. But we rarely exalt the knowing, which is the only kind of feminism many working women have.”
