I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't.

There's no evidence whatsoever that men are more rational than women. Both sexes seem to be equally irrational.

All women should know how to take care of children. Most of them will have a husband some day.

Women in love are less ashamed than men. They have less to be ashamed of.

One can find women who have never had one love affair, but it is rare indeed to find any who have had only one.
