Virginia Woolf
“No sooner have you feasted on beauty with your eyes than your mind tells you that beauty is vain and beauty passes”
Virginia Woolf

Gina Barreca
“How about "diamonds are a girl's best friends"? Nope. It should be switched around and pointed out, instead, that your best friends are diamonds.”
Gina Barreca, It's Not That I'm Bitter . . .: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying About Visible Panty Lines and Conquered the World

Simone de Beauvoir
“Weakness' is weakness only in light of the aims man sets for himself, the instruments at his disposal and the laws he imposes.”
Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex

“In passing, also, I would like to say that the first time Adam had a chance he laid the blame on a woman.”
Nancy Astor

Naomi Wolf
“A culture fixated on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty, but an obsession about female obedience. Dieting is the most potent political sedative in women’s history; a quietly mad population is a tractable one.”
Naomi Wolf, The Beauty Myth
