Quote by Janet Autherine

“I am a black woman. Don't look beyond me. Don't see through me. Look me in the eye. Hold my gaze. Listen to my heart. See my soul. See me for who I am, not what you would like me to be. Accept or reject but don't hide from my truth.”

“Esa noche, acostada al lado de su hermana y pasando de la angustia al malestar, Kim Ji-young reflexionó sobre lo que le había pasado durante el día.

“La misoginia, nonché l'odio di genere e il senso di avversione nei confronti della compagine femminile, ci ha forgiate nel nome della sottomissione forzata. Ridotte al silenzio, sentendoci in colpa perché ancora vive, abbiamo accolto remissivamente una vita infelice.”
