Xiran Jay Zhao
“So many attempts to stop me from existing comfortably in my own skin, yet here I am, doing what I want with a boy nobody appointed to me. And it's not dirtying me. It will not ruin me. It is not obscene, filthy, or shameful.”
Xiran Jay Zhao, Iron Widow

“But a mother who has failed me so thoroughly is no mother of mine.”
Xiran Jay Zhao, Iron Widow

“Shame and humiliation are self-imposed emotions, and from here on out, I choose not to feel them.”
Xiran Jay Zhao, Iron Widow

Xiran Jay Zhao
“People love to ogle pretty girls, but they love to hate them even more. There's no one the masses are more obsessed with railing at than the women who dare to stray from the docile ideal of wives and mothers.”
Xiran Jay Zhao, Iron Widow

Xiran Jay Zhao
“I've been told endless lies since I was born. That I was not kind enough, considerate enough, humble enough, honorable enough, pretty enough, pleasing enough. And if I failed to meet the needs of those around me, I did not deserve to live.
Propaganda. All of it. Propaganda to keep me chasing after the approval of others on my bound and broken feet, as if being a good servant is the only thing I should be proud of.”
Xiran Jay Zhao, Iron Widow
