Dale Spender
“Feminism has fought no wars. It has killed no opponents. It has set up no concentration camps, starved no enemies, practiced no cruelties. Its battles have been for education, for the vote, for better working conditions, for safety in the streets, for child care, for social welfare, for rape crisis centres, women's refuges, reforms in the law. If someone says, 'Oh, I'm not a feminist', I ask, 'Why? What's your problem?”
Dale Spender, Man Made Language

Marge Piercy
“I want to do something very important. Like fly into the past and make it come out right.”
Marge Piercy, Woman on the Edge of Time

Joanna Russ
“In my opinion, questions that are based on something real ought to be settled by something real without all this damned lazy miserable drifting”
Joanna Russ, The Female Man

Jonathan Safran Foer
“If we are not given the option to live without violence, we are given the choice to center our meals around harvest or slaughter, husbandry or war. We have chosen slaughter. We have chosen war. That's the truest version of our story of eating animals.

Can we tell a new story?”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Eating Animals

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“If you don't understand, ask questions. If you're uncomfortable about asking questions, say you are uncomfortable about asking questions and then ask anyway. It's easy to tell when a question is coming from a good place. Then listen some more. Sometimes people just want to feel heard. Here's to possibilities of friendship and connection and understanding.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Americanah
