"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."

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

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 is often falsely assumed, even by feminists, that sexuality is the enemy of the female who really wants to develop these aspects of her personality, and this is perhaps the most misleading aspect of movements like the National Organization of Women. It was not the insistence upon her sex that weakened the American woman student's desire to make something of her education, but the insistence upon a passive sexual role
Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch

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

Shulamith Firestone
“It would take a denial of all cultural tradition for women to produce even a true 'female' art. For a woman who participates in (male) culture must achieve and be rated by standards of a tradition she had no part in making - and certainly there is no room in that tradition for a female view, even if she could discover what it was.”
Shulamith Firestone, The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution
