“Women are gaslit into believing that their bodies - the very thing that allows them to hack the big brain-small pelvis equation - are problematic and that consequently they themselves are problematic. We're dirty, silly, fat, gross, weak, or we're simply complainers. We are forced to make do with a medical system largely designed around the needs of men and we have our medical concerns dismissed as "not that bad" or we are told they are fabricated.”
Jennifer Gunter, The Menopause Manifesto: Own Your Health with Facts and Feminism

Eve Babitz
“There is no precedent for women getting their own "everything" and learning that it's not the answer.”
Eve Babitz, Slow Days, Fast Company: The World, the Flesh, and L.A.

Jessica Valenti
“Women are raising children, picking up socks, and making sure you feel like a man by supporting you when you need it and looking sexy (but not trying too hard, because that would be pathetic). We're being independent and bad bitches while wearing fucking lipstick and heels so as not to offend your delicate aesthetic sensibility, yet even just the word "feminist" pisses you off. How dare we.”
Jessica Valenti, Sex Object: A Memoir

Tove Jansson
“He said, "It was burning a hole in my pocket. I had to get rid of it, as quickly as possible. I had to buy the most important think I could think of."
And he went out and bought a dreadfully tiny bottle of attar of roses.
I think he did exactly the right thing.
Some people say Uncle Einar is a snob, and I sincerely hope I can develop along the same lines.”
Tove Jansson, The Woman Who Borrowed Memories: Selected Stories

Tove Jansson
“Passion. As you can see, I've lived quite a long time, which is to say I've been working for quite a long time, which is the same thing. And you know what? In the whole silly business, the only thing that really matters is passion. It comes and it goes. At first it just comes to you free of charge, and you don't understand, and you waste it. And then it becomes a thing to nurture.”
Tove Jansson, The Woman Who Borrowed Memories: Selected Stories
