“Today, women have access to the technological capacity to do anything to our bodies in the struggle for "beauty", but we have yet to evolve a mentality beyond the old rules, to let them imagine that this combat among women is not inevitable.

New possibilities for women quickly become new obligations. ”

― Florence Falk, On My Own: The Art of Being a Woman Alone
