“Any woman who wishes to be an intellectual, to write non-fiction, to deal with theory, faces a lot of discrimination coming her way and perhaps even self-doubt because there aren't that many who've gone before you.

To know what it is we want to do rather than going into institutions thinking that the institution is going to frame for us.” - Bell Hooks
