Quote by Annie Ernaux;

“El hecho de que la forma en la que yo viví la experiencia del aborto, la clandestinidad, forme parte del pasado no me parece un motivo válido para que se siga ocultando. La ley, que casi siempre se considera justa, cae en la paradoja de obligar a las antiguas víctimas a callarse porque «todo aquello se acabó», haciendo que lo que sucedió continúe oculto bajo el mismo silencio de entonces.”

“For centuries, medicine has claimed that women are defined by their bodies and biology. But we have never been respected as reliable narrators of what happens to our bodies. We are denied agency because the man-made world privileges specialist, sanctioned knowledge over our own thoughts and feelings. There is no space in the professional medical narrative of illness and disease for women’s own experiences.”

“And this God, if he exists, why does he allow women to suffer in such a way? The worst of it is that God doesn't appear to have any wife. If he was married, the Goddess, his wife, would intercede on our behalf. Through her, we would ask to be blessed with a life based on harmony. But the Goddess must exist, I keep thinking. She must be as invisible as all of us. No doubt her space is limited to the celestial kitchen.”
