feminist quotes

I am a feminist, and what that means to me is much the same as the meaning of the fact that I am Black: it means that I must undertake to love myself as though my very life depends upon self-love and self-respect.

-June Jordan
   Address to Black Writers Conference, Howard University. Collected as'Where Is the Love?' in Moving Towards Home (1989).

I didn't set out to be a feminist writer. I just look at the sheep out of the window and watch their behaviour.
