“I am acutely aware of the progress that was made for women to have the right to work, to live alone, to take the contraceptive pill, to vote, to burn their bras, but we only really arrived halfway. What began as a brilliant innovation towards the liberation of women has halted or at least slowed down to arrive at another form of patriarchal oppression. Women are doing too much. We are pressed and squeezed for too much of ourselves.” — Paloma Faith
