"I first started listening to the audiobook version on YouTube but I quickly realised I had to go get the physical book bc it’s so good.

Now that I have it and I’m a few chapters in, I can say that it is in a whole class of its own, this is so much better than any fantasy book I have ever read. It’s on a whole different level in terms of world building."

Andrea Dworkin
“For me, being a lesbian means three things—

First, it means that I love, cherish, and respect women in my mind, in my heart, and in my soul. This love of women is the soil in which my life is rooted. It is the soil of our common life together. My life grows out of this soil. In any other soil, I would die. In whatever ways I am strong, I am strong because of the power and passion of this nurturant love.”
Andrea Dworkin, Our Blood: Prophecies and Discourses on Sexual Politics

Shulamith Firestone
“In my own case, I had to train myself out of that phony smile, which is like a nervous tic on every teenage girl. And this meant that I smiled rarely, for in truth, when it came down to real smiling, I had less to smile about. My 'dream' action for the women's liberation movement: a smile boycott, at which declaration all women would instantly abandon their 'pleasing' smiles, henceforth smiling only when something pleased them.”
Shulamith Firestone, The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution

Germaine Greer
“It takes a great deal of courage and independence to decide to design your own image instead of the one that society rewards, but it gets easier as you go along.”
Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch

Andrea Dworkin
“All women are supposed to vilify any peer who deviates from the accepted norm of femininity, and most do. What is remarkable is not that most do, but that some do not.”
Andrea Dworkin, Our Blood: Prophecies and Discourses on Sexual Politics

Virginia Woolf
“Therefore I would ask you to write all kinds of books, hesitating at no subject however trivial or however vast. By hook or by crook, I hope that you will possess yourselves of money enough to travel and to idle, to contemplate the future or the past of the world, to dream over books and loiter at street corners and let the line of thought dip deep into the stream.”
Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own
