“I hold it self-evident that so long as we live in a man’s world, as we still do, women have a right to create enclaves of learning or work where, instead of obeying or imitating what men do and want, women can shape what they do, how they do it, and why they do it, in their own way and on their own terms.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, Words Are My Matter: Writings About Life and Books, 2000-2016

“Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.”
