work definitions
The definition of woman's work is shitwork.
sin individual responsible
To punish the individual for the sins of the system makes no sense. We're responsible for changing it, yes. But we can't actually invent another universe, so we have to start where we are.
dream kindness ambition
What I think we need to do is infuse everyday and every action with the kind of values we hope will be in the future, with kindness, with nurturing, with dreams, ambition, using your talents, not resorting to violence, other forms of conflict resolution, with humor, with poetry, with music.
girl dream morning
Little girls do not wake up in the morning and say "I dream of being a prostitute." It is a terrible, terrible life. Body invasion is more traumatic than even getting beaten up. In certain circumstances, obviously, it may be a way to survive.
god trying god-knows
God knows (She knows) that women try.
class planning-ahead goal
Planning ahead is a measure of class. The rich and even the middle class plan for future generations, but the poor can plan ahead only a few weeks or days.
truth voice inner-voice
There is always one true inner voice. Trust it.
responsibility decision flags
No, I'll take responsibility for my own life, I am going to make a decision. And you know, to this day, I would raise flags on all public buildings to celebrate the chance I had to make that decision.
blessing body bless
This is the wisdom: If we bless our bodies, they will bless us.
home long phrases
Battered women is a phrase that uncovered major, long-hidden violence. It helps us to face the fact that, statistically speaking, the most dangerous place for a woman is in her own home, not in the streets.
talking president movement
What has the women's movement learned from Geraldine Ferraro's candidacy for vice president? Never get married.
say-anything groups can-not
When you say something in a wrong group - it will never be right, so you can not say anything wrong, when you don't belong to a group.
girlfriend henry-kissinger kissinger
I am not now, and never have been, a girlfriend of Henry Kissinger.
passion crime possession
There is no such thing as a crime of passion, only a crime of possession.
