Quotes by Natalie Haynes  (?)

“When a war was ended, the men lost their lives. But the women lost everything else.”
Natalie Haynes, A Thousand Ships

“But this is a women's war, just as much as it is the men's, and the poet will look upon their pain - the pain of the women who have always been relegated to the edges of the story, victims of men, survivors of men, slaves of men - and he will tell it, or he will tell nothing at all. They have waited long enough for their turn.”
Natalie Haynes, A Thousand Ships

“It does hurt, I whispered. It should hurt. She isn't a footnote, she's a person. And she - all the Trojan women - should be memorialised as much as any other person.”
Natalie Haynes, A Thousand Ships
