Quote by Erica Bauermeister

“It was beginning to get to her, the way men (Okay, Leo) were allowed to add feminism to their identity like a fancy font in the book of their life, while for women it seemed to be viewed more like the plot line – once established, any straying from the path viewed as a fatal flaw.”

“Men still rule this world and as a result the world is broken. Men still hold most positions of power, men control governments, men control the media, and it is always men who start wars. Men have tricked women into thinking they see us as equals, but real equality, for all women everywhere, still feels like little more than a pipe dream. The woman on this island have had enough.”

“But by far the worst thing we do to males—by making them feel they have to be hard—is that we leave them with very fragile egos. The harder a man feels compelled to be, the weaker his ego is. And then we do a much greater disservice to girls, because we raise them to cater to the fragile egos of males. We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller.”

“Todo el mundo le ha dado a entender a Catalina que cuando un lobo anda suelto, se encierra bajo llave a las cien ovejas y, si una se escapa, será culpa de la oveja que el lobo la encuentre porque está en la naturaleza del lobo asustar a la oveja, torturar a la oveja, matar a la oveja, zamparse a la oveja...pero nadie se pregunta si está en la naturaleza de la oveja quedarse encerrada hasta que deje de existir el lobo, ya que no parece que el lobo vaya a dejar de acechar jamás.”

“Catalina deduce que es cosa de la época, de la literatura antigua, el que a una mujer no se la dotara de sentimientos...al menos que fueran divinidades, porque el resto no parecía tener jamás iniciativas ni anhelos. Tampoco ella tiene deseos sexuales hacia nadie, aunque cree que, como los chicos, debería tenerlos. Se pregunta si de algún modo está castrada o es solo una forma de sobrevivir.”
