“Feminists are made, not born. One does not become an advocate of feminist politics simply by having the privilege of having been born female.”
bell hooks, Feminism Is for Everybody: Passionate Politics

“When men did most of the work women worked to make home a site of comfort and relaxation for males. Home was relaxing to women only when men and children were not present.”
bell hooks, Feminism Is for Everybody: Passionate Politics

bell hooks
“When women in the home spend all their time attending to the needs of others, home is a workplace for her, not a site of relaxation, comfort, and pleasure.”
bell hooks, Feminism Is for Everybody: Passionate Politics

“Why is it that male physicians are more likely to interrupt their patients sooner than female physicians? Is it that women are expected to be better listeners, to interrupt less, to demonstrate emotion and empathy? What would happen if we built those expectations into every medical education, for every doctor, from the very beginning. What would medicine look like if all the female energy that was squeezed out and sidelined from it over the course of two millennia was allowed back in?”
Elizabeth Comen, All in Her Head: The Truth and Lies Early Medicine Taught Us About Women’s Bodies and Why It Matters Today

“The idea was just this: that there is something beautiful, and wonderfully feminine, and powerful and empowering at once, about a woman who can't breathe.”
Elizabeth Comen, All in Her Head: The Truth and Lies Early Medicine Taught Us About Women’s Bodies and Why It Matters Today
