The process begins with the individual woman’s acceptance that American women, without exception, are socialized to be racist, classist and sexist, in varying degrees, and that labeling ourselves feminists does not change the fact that we must consciously work to rid ourselves of the legacy of negative socialization.

When we choose to love, we choose to move against fear, against alienation and separation. The choice to love is a choice to connect, to find ourselves in the other.

Without justice there can be no love.

The world would be a paradise of peace and justice if global citizens shared a common definition of love which would guide our thoughts and action.

The soul of our politics is the commitment to ending domination.

There will be no mass-based feminist movement as long as feminist ideas are understood only by a well-educated few.

Feminism has never emerged from the women who are most victimized by sexist oppression; women who are daily beaten down, mentally, physically, and spiritually - women who are powerless to change their condition in life. They are a silent majority.
