When Ariel surrendered her voice in its entirety… Swapping her voice in exchange for human legs on a fool’s quest to win Prince Eric seemed like a patently bad idea. After all, her voice was most of what he knew of her. It was her lovely singing voice the prince first heard as Ariel rescued him from that shipwreck. Without it, how could she convey to him all the things that she was?
Well… you ate with that.

I had grown up in a matriarchal household where women’s voices were the only voices. My mom to this day is a feminist with a booming voice and a strong point of view. She taught me to be unselfconscious about using my voice and drove the lesson home by taking me on nighttime trips through the state parks of Wisconsin.

We teach girls to shrink themselves
To make themselves smaller
We say to girls
"You can have ambition
But not too much
You should aim to be successful
But not too successful
Otherwise you will threaten the man"

“The societal pressure for women and girls to take up less space runs deep. Stomach in, legs crossed is a default position for a lot of us, whether or not we’re on the subway or sitting next to the Queen of England.”
