Quote by Marie Henein

“We women are never quite right. A little too much of this, not enough of that. Perpetually in need of tweaking. If we could just tone down, speak up, be more assertive, know our place, be slightly less ambitious or shrill, dress less provocatively, look more feminine, be thinner, heavier, we would be perfect!”

“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.”

Dragons doing dishes. Dragons downing missiles. Dragons laying waste to armies or governments or home economics classrooms. There were no words. No explanations. No statements of intent. Just dragons.”
