“A 1972 Gallup poll found that 68 percent of Republicans (known for being proponents of individual rights) thought the decision to abort was best made by a woman with her doctor.”
Katherine Dykstra, What Happened to Paula: An Unsolved Death and the Danger of American Girlhood

“We accept that our lives are so littered with land mines (unintended pregnancy, violence, abandonment, inadequate medical care, economic insecurity, the list goes on) that when we survive one we count ourselves lucky, because we know that things could have gone, indeed do go, another way for many many many women.”
Katherine Dykstra, What Happened to Paula: An Unsolved Death and the Danger of American Girlhood

“I have found that a central conflict of womanhood is the wish to be thought beautiful and simultaneously to go unnoticed.”
Katherine Dykstra, What Happened to Paula: An Unsolved Death and the Danger of American Girlhood
