Quote by Barbara Black Koltuv

“Lilith can help women remember that— there was a time when you were not a slave. Remember that. You walked alone, full of laughter. You bathed, bare-bellied. You say you have lost all recollection of it— remember. You say there are no words to describe it, it does not exist. But remember. Make an effort to remember. Or, failing that. Invent.”
