Mona Chollet
“Au lieu de développer en soi toute la palette des qualités humaines, on se contente de la palette de celles qui sont dites féminines ou masculines, en cherchant sa complétude à travers l'autre, dans des relations superficielles vécues sur le mode de l'addiction.”
Mona Chollet, Sorcières : La puissance invaincue des femmes

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
