“Her nose was crooked, as though it might have been broken a couple of times. She also had a broken tooth and her hand was in a bandage. She was still beautiful. She refused to stop being beautiful. No matter what men did to her, no matter how many times she was knocked down the stairs. The same reason she was still beautiful was the same reason she was here. She was resilient. She refused to be ugly.” BeautyResilience Author:Heather O’Neill
