Akwaeke Emezi
“And this is how you break a child, you know. Step one, take the mother away.”
Akwaeke Emezi, Freshwater

Julia Armfield
“Grief is selfish: we cry for ourselves without the person we have lost far more than we cry for the person—but more than that, we cry because it helps. The grief process is also the coping process and if the grief is frozen by ambiguity, by the constant possibility of reversal, then so is the ability to cope.”
Julia Armfield, Our Wives Under the Sea

Chelsea G. Summers
“You who call women the fairer sex, you may repress and deny all you want, but some of us were born with a howling void where our souls should sway”
Chelsea G. Summers, A Certain Hunger

Gina Frangello
“How do we measure a life’s worth? In laughter? In orgasms? In money? In how often we have been photographed? In children borne or raised? In the number of continents on which we have made love? In number of books published? In latest versions of iPads and iPhones? In jazz albums filling a giant trunk in the basement? In years? We are all specks of dust against the specter of Time. Is ninety years so different from forty in the scheme of things? We are all the walking dead of history.”
Gina Frangello, Blow Your House Down: A Story of Family, Feminism, and Treason

Gina Frangello
“This is what it is to have bitten the apple, and to understand for the first time why female desire and knowledge are the most feared and demonized forces in history. This is what it’s like to be a destroyer of worlds: that woman, that apple, that serpent, all at once. Even if your Eden was partially imaginary, this is what it’s like to watch the dream of it fade forever into the mist and to want to turn back the clock, to want to return, but also to never want to return, to ache to keep running. This is what it’s like to have feared your entire life becoming your martyr of a mother, and to instead have become the monster under your children’s bed. This is what it’s like to choose love.”
Gina Frangello, Blow Your House Down: A Story of Family, Feminism, and Treason
