the so-called women's question is a whole-people question.

The oppressed without hope are mysteriously quiet. When the conception of change is beyond the limits of the possible, there are no words to articulate discontent so it is sometimes held not to exist. This mistaken belief arises because we can only grasp silence in the moment in which it is breaking.

Power in the hands of particular groups and classes serves like a prism to refract reality through their own perspective.

Innocence is impossible when people have never had the choice of becoming corrupt by dominating others.

It is no longer enough to point out what we don't like, we have to work out 'What sort of society do we want?

Language conveys a certain power. It is one of the instruments of domination. It is carefully guarded by the superior people because it is one of the means through which they conserve their supremacy.

Men will often admit other women are oppressed but not you.
