Markus Zusak
“Those kids, they would've loved this place, they would've walked and skipped and danced here, all legs and sunny hair. They'd have cartwheeled the lawn, shouting, "And don't go lookin' at our knickers, right?”
Markus Zusak, Bridge of Clay

“There are hundreds of thoughts per every word spoken, and that's if they're spoken at all.”
Markus Zusak, Bridge of Clay

Ijeoma Oluo
“Intersectionality brings people face-to-face with their privilege. People, in general, do not like to recognize the ways in which they may be unfairly advantaged over other people. To embrace intersectionality is to also embrace the knowledge of those advantages and to acknowledge that your advantages may have kept you from first seeing the disadvantages others face.”
Ijeoma Oluo, So You Want to Talk About Race

Caroline Criado Pérez
“Women have always worked. They have worked unpaid, underpaid, underappreciated, and invisibly, but they have always worked. But the modern workplace does not work for women. From its location, to its hours, to its regulatory standards, it has been designed around the lives of men and it is no longer fit for purpose. The world of work needs a wholesale redesign--of its regulations, of its equipment, of its culture--and this redesign must be led by data on female bodies and female lives. We have to start recognising that the work women do is not an added extra, a bonus that we could do without: women's work, paid and unpaid, is the backbone of our society and our economy. It's about time we started valuing it.”
Caroline Criado-Pérez, Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

“There is no such thing as a woman who doesn’t work. There is only a woman who isn’t paid for her work.”
Caroline Criado-Perez, Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men
