Feminism isn’t a single issue any more. It is nothing less than a change to history. It is the most fundamental shift in human consciousness since Darwin’s natural selection, the recalibration of humanity world-wide. It is a long slow process like the movement of the earth’s crust. Like the tectonic plates it will buck and shudder. But it cannot come to an end. It cannot be written off. We are, after all, half the human race. Joan Bakewell, Fifty Shades of Feminism
