“We thought of them as "Women," and therefore timid; but it was two thousand years since they had had anything to be afraid of, and certainly more than one thousand since they had outgrown the feeling.”
― Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Herland

“If a man loves a girl who is in the first place young and inexperienced; who in the second place is educated with a background of caveman tradition, a middle-ground of poetry and romance, and a foreground of unspoken hope and interest all centering upon the one Event; and who has, furthermore, absolutely no other hope or interest worthy of the name - why, it is a comparatively easy manner to sweep her off her feet with a dashing attack.”
― Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Herland

“What do you study?"

"As much as we know of the different sciences. We have, within our limits, a good deal of knowledge of anatomy, physiology, nutrition鈥攁ll that pertains to a full and beautiful personal life. We have our botany and chemistry, and so on鈥攙ery rudimentary, but interesting; our own history, with its accumulating psychology."

"You put psychology with history鈥攏ot with personal life?"

"Of course. It is ours; it is among and between us, and it changes with the succeeding and improving generations. We are at work, slowly and carefully, developing our whole people along these lines. It is glorious work鈥攕plendid! To see the thousands of babies improving, showing stronger clearer minds, sweeter dispositions, higher capacities鈥攄on't you find it so in your country?”
― Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Herland

“Contrary to what your friends鈥� hyper-consciously constructed Facebook updates would have you believe, life isn鈥檛 a series of discrete, pivotal, deeply meaningful lily pads. Life is a smear. It鈥檚 messy, indistinct and disorienting: pinball, not chess.”

“What is a 鈥渨oman鈥�? Who gets to be one? Who gets to decide who 鈥渃ounts鈥�? In our quest for equality, should feminists strive for the right to embody even the toxic aspects of masculinity, or should we focus on dismantling it before reaching for equality at all? Why should women who have traditionally been underserved or exploited by mainstream feminism (women of colour, trans women, sex workers) have that label foisted upon them? What do we do with the uncomfortable truth that many women鈥檚 rights pioneers were explicitly, actively racist? How do we honour their contributions without erasing the oppression of women of colour that still taints feminism today? How do we reconcile the tension between celebrating womanhood and rejecting gender essentialism? How do we reconcile the tension between fighting oppressive beauty standards and wanting to express ourselves through makeup and clothes?”
