Ocean Vuong
“My mother said I could be anything I wanted - but I chose to live.”
Ocean Vuong, Night Sky with Exit Wounds

Glennon Doyle
“A woman becomes a responsible parent when she stops being an obedient daughter. When she finally understands that she is creating something different from what her parents created. When she begins to build her island not to their specifications but to hers. When she finally understands that it is not her duty to convince everyone on her island to accept and respect her.”
Glennon Doyle, Untamed

Nina Mingya Powles
“It is tiring to be a woman who loves to eat in a society where hunger is something not to be satisfied but controlled. Where a long history of female hunger is associated with shame and madness. The body must be punished for every misstep; for every "indulgence" the balance of control must be restored. To enjoy food as a young woman, to opt out every day from the guilt expected of me, is a radical act, of love.”
Nina Mingya Powles, Tiny Moons: A Year of Eating in Shanghai

Akwaeke Emezi
“I know many people survive, but I also think people glorify resilience a little too much, forgetting that the fragile ones simply die as the world walks on over their bones.”
Akwaeke Emezi, Dear Senthuran: A Black Spirit Memoir

S.A. Chakraborty
“For this scribe has read a great many of these accounts and taken away another lesson: that to be a woman is to have your story misremembered. Discarded. Twisted.”
S.A. Chakraborty, The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi
