Quote by Olha Kobylianska

“Однак жінка — людина, так само як і мужчина, і вимоги природи в неї такі самі, як її в нього, то її через те треба в таких самих умовах, як і його, виховувати до боротьби за існування, а озброївшися наукою, знанням законів, знанням різних галузей праці, зможе й сама боротись за життєві засоби.”

“Rape was where my rebellion started. His sense that—small as I was, an infant—I needed to be controlled was my hint that I had power that had to be curtailed. That I was alive enough to be annihilated. That my survival was a threat that needed to be contained. Rape and sexual abuse made me nothing, and in doing so made me something.”

“... this is probably why, as I was reporting for this book, nearly every woman I spoke to, especially in the month immediately following the inauguration of DT, described her anger as a thing of the past.

“It took a special kind of guts to be a fuck-up as a woman, I thought. To say to hell with being a nice girl, the responsible one, the one who makes sure the man takes care of himself and eats properly and doesn’t take too many drugs. To be just as nihilistic and self-destructive as a man, knowing all along that you’ll get crucified for it, because somehow, the world will make everything your fault. He’ll be a martyr, and you’ll be a succubus. He’ll be a genius, and you’ll be a groupie. He’ll be a hero, and you’ll be an ugly fat crack whore who deserves to die.”
