Carina Chocano
“What does a woman running for president have to do to be likable?

Not run for president.”
Carina Chocano, Nasty Women: Feminism, Resistance, and Revolution in Trump's America

Kate Harding
“That hidden economy, which still exists today, is one of love. There is self-interest, certainly, in all of these women's endeavors; for their trouble, they get shelter and food. But you don't do any of that - the mind-numbing care of small children, the endless repetition of cooking and laundry, the indignity of having a mind as fine as any man's and no opportunity to exercise it - without love. Either love for the owners of the dirty underwear and the sticky little hands, or love for people whose survival depends on the pittance you make for doing it.

Almost three hundred years after Dam Smith was born, women still dominate the "caring professions" - teaching, nursing, social work - and are scarce in positions of financial or political power. Married women who work full-time still do substantially more cleaning, food preparation, and child-engagement tasks than their male partners. And when professional women's work becomes too time consuming, the care of children and the household isn't shared more equally with male partners, but outsourced to other women, frequently poor women of color. It is men who are raised to participate in a strict economy of self-interest. Most women could never afford that.”
Kate Harding, Nasty Women: Feminism, Resistance, and Revolution in Trump's America

Rebecca Solnit
“One merely had to imagine a woman candidate doing what Trump did, from lying to leering, to understand what latitude masculinity possesses. "No advanced step take by women has been so bitterly contested as that of speaking in public," Susan B. Anthony said in 1900. "For nothing which they have attempted, not even to secure the suffrage, have they been so abused, condemned and antagonized." Or as Mary Beard put it last year, "We have never escaped a certain male cultural desire for women's silence.”
Rebecca Solnit, Nasty Women: Feminism, Resistance, and Revolution in Trump's America

Celeste Ng
“Most of the time, everyone deserves more than one chance. We all do things we regret now and then. You just have to carry them with you.”
Celeste Ng, Little Fires Everywhere

“After we'd walked in silence for a moment, I said to Mom, "It seems weird that the right thing for an expectant mother to say when she's asked if she wants a boy or a girl is 'as long as it's healthy'."

I cringed at how ridiculous my words seems spoken aloud. But Mom nodded. She knew exactly what I meant. She had had two "unhealthy" babies; I had been the second of the two. For both of us, the conditional phrase "as long as" sounded like a threat.”
Sarah Michael Hollenbeck
