“Our view of the female fighter has been obstructed by both the moral compulsion to decry violent resistance and a societal drive to divide categories of thought along gendered lines.”
Nimmi Gowrinathan, Radicalizing Her: Why Women Choose Violence

Sharon Dodua Otoo
“Sie blinzelte und schielte. Die Gestalten und Konturen vor ihren Augen nahmen nur zögerlich Formen an. Sämtliche Farben verwandelten sich von einem Einheitsgrau, durch diverse dunklere und hellere Schatten hin, zu einem Kaleidoskop irisierender Sternchen. Das Rauschen in ihren Ohren klang wie ein endloses Schschschsch. Ob es sich um Sekunden oder Jahre handeln würde? Das fragte ich nicht. Sicher war, dass es ihr schleichend dämmern würde, dass sie nicht mehr im Raum der unaufhörlichen Zeit schwebte. So war es auch jedes Mal bei mir gewesen.”
Sharon Dodua Otoo, Adas Raum

Virginie Despentes
“«La prunelle de mes yeux.» L’expression peine à rendre ce qui lie le parent à son nouveau-né. La prunelle de ses yeux, on pouvait la lui arracher sans qu’il tombe – la moelle de mes os s’approcherait davantage, pour dire que ça parcourt tout ce qu’on est, et qu’il s’agit du lien qui s’établit, avant même qu’on soit capable de reconnaître son enfant parmi les autres.”
Virginie Despentes, Vernon Subutex 1

“Violence, for me, and for the women I chronicle in this book, is simply a political reality.”
Nimmi Gowrinathan, Radicalizing Her: Why Women Choose Violence

Julia Kristeva
“Do not all attempts, in our own cultural sphere at least, at escaping from the Judeo-Christian compound by means of a unilateral call to return to what it has repressed (rhythm, drive, the feminine, etc.), converge on the same Celinian anti-Semitic fantasy? And this is so because, as I have tried to explain earlier the writings of the chosen people have selected a place, in the most determined manner, on that untenable crest of manness seen as symbolic fact—which constitutes abjection.”
Julia Kristeva, Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection
