Kim  Gordon
“In general, though, women aren’t really allowed to be kick-ass. It’s like the famous distinction between art and craft: Art, and wildness, and pushing against the edges, is a male thing. Craft, and control, and polish, is for women. Culturally we don’t allow women to be as free as they would like, because that is frightening. We either shun those women or deem them crazy. Female singers who push too much, and too hard, don’t tend to last very long. They’re jags, bolts, comets: Janis Joplin, Billie Holiday. But being that woman who pushes the boundaries means you also bring in less desirable aspects of yourself. At the end of the day, women are expected to hold up the world, not annihilate it. That’s why Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill is so great. The term girl power was coined by the Riot Grrl movement that Kathleen spearheaded in the 1990s. Girl power: a phrase that would later be co-opted by the Spice Girls, a group put together by men, each Spice Girl branded with a different personality, polished and stylized to be made marketable as a faux female type. Coco was one of the few girls on the playground who had never heard of them, and that’s its own form of girl power, saying no to female marketing!”

Melissa Bashardoust
“If her father had never truly recognized his daughter, then had he remembered his wife wrong as well? What is everything he’d ever told her about her mother was only how he’d seen her, not how she truly was.”
Melissa Bashardoust, Girls Made of Snow and Glass

J. Ryan Stradal
“It occurred to Diana just then that death doesn’t happen all at once. The public death is just the beginning, and the rest takes as long as it has to, in private bits and pieces, without any warning, schedule, or validation.”
J. Ryan Stradal, The Lager Queen of Minnesota

Stephanie Danler
“BITTER: always a bit unanticipated. Coffee, chocolate, rosemary, citrus rinds, wine. Once, when we were wild, it told us about poison. The mouth still hesitates at each new encounter. We urge it forward, say, Adapt. Now, enjoy it.”
Stephanie Danler, Sweetbitter

J. Ryan Stradal
“Her grief was a forest with no trails, and she couldn’t guess how long her heart would walk through it, as her body walked other places.”
J. Ryan Stradal, The Lager Queen of Minnesota
