Gloria Steinem
“Anybody who is experiencing something is more expert in it than the experts.”
Gloria Steinem, My Life on the Road

Gloria Steinem
“I myself cried when I got angry, then became unable to explain why I was angry in the first place. Later I would discover this was endemic among female human beings. Anger is supposed to be "unfeminine" so we suppress it -until it overflows. I could see that not speaking up made my mother feel worse. This was my first hint of the truism that depression is anger turned inward; thus women are twice as likely to be depressed. My mother paid a high price for caring so much, yet being able to do so little about it. In this way, she led me toward am activist place where she herself could never go.”
Gloria Steinem, My Life on the Road

“You should write about take no-shit women like me. Girls need to know they can break the rules" p.79”
Gloria Steinem, My Life on the Road

Gloria Steinem
“Long before all these divisions were opened between home and the road, betweens a woman's place and a man's world, humans followed the crops, the seasons, traveling with their families, our companions, animals, our tents. We built campfires and moved from place to place. This way of traveling is still in our cellular memory. Living things have evolved as travelers, Even migrating birds know that nature doesn't demand a choice between nesting and flight.”
Gloria Steinem, My Life on the Road

Alice Walker
“If you was my wife, she say, I'd cover you up with kisses stead of licks, and work hard for you too.”
Alice Walker, The Color Purple
