Frances Cha
“I would live your life so much better than you, if I had your face.”
Frances Cha, If I Had Your Face

Zeyn Joukhadar
“I listen to them talk in a language I've never heard before. I don't have to understand everything. The blue-violet voices wind around me, protecting me from my fear. I am covered with a think rind of safety, like an orange.”
Zeyn Joukhadar, The Map of Salt and Stars

Hélène Cixous
“Men say that there are two unrepresentable things: death and the feminine sex. That's because they need femininity to be associated with death; it's the jitters that gives them a hard-on! for themselves! They need to be afraid of us. Look at the trembling Perseuses moving backward toward us, clad in apotropes. What lovely backs! Not another minute to lose. Let's get out of here.”
Hélène Cixous, The Laugh of the Medusa

Asma Barlas
“First, parents are not intermediaries between God and children. Secondly, all children are to come to God's truth as individual moral agents independent of, and if necessary, even in conflict with the views of their parents. Finally, even if children are expected to disobey erring parents, they are simultaneously reminded to care for and be fair to them.”
Asma Barlas, Believing Women in Islam: A Brief Introduction

Zahra Fatima Hankir
“That day, I came to a stark realization. I was afraid of men, and the harder I fought, the more intense the fear became. I can't think of an experience that is more harrowing than a woman being sexually harassed or assaulted by a man.”
Zahra Hankir, Our Women on the Ground: Essays by Arab Women Reporting from the Arab World
