“We need to reclaim the word 'feminism'. We need the word 'feminism' back real bad. When statistics come in saying that only 29% of American women would describe themselves as feminist - and only 42% of British women - I used to think, What do you think feminism IS, ladies? What part of 'liberation for women' is not for you? Is it freedom to vote? The right not to be owned by the man you marry? The campaign for equal pay? 'Vogue' by Madonna? Jeans?

― Caitlin Moran, How to Be a Woman

“No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.”

“Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.”
