What is it like to be connected to someone you can never get away from, for better or worse? I love trying to answer that question.

I was called a feminist, and what I heard was, 'You are an angry, sex-hating, man-hating victim lady person.' This caricature is how feminists have been warped by the people who fear feminism most, the same people who have the most to lose when feminism succeeds.

Readers need to stop assuming characters are white if race isn't explicitly defined.

Nemeses aren't born. They are made.

I never imagined that I would be the kind of person who is recognized when I am out and about just living my life.

Feminism has neglected the needs of woman of color and people of color in general. But I don't think it means that we should overlook feminism as having nothing valuable to contribute.

I write toward both idealism and reality - how things are and how I wish they could be.
