At the moment of their emancipation, women have a need to write their own histories.

If the writer is a woman, feminist or not, it will give the language something that it would not have if it had been used by a man.

As long as the family and the myth of the family ... have not been destroyed, women will still be oppressed.

Only a woman can write what it is to feel as a woman, to be a woman.

To be a woman, if not a defect, is at least a peculiarity.

People seem to think that if you keep your head empty you automatically fill your balls.

To refuse everything, to say, even when there is something which really should be done, "Ah, that's no longer feminist," is a pessimistic, even masochistic tendency in women, the result of having been habituated to inertia, to pessimism.
