“All of women’s aspirations—whether for education, work, or any form of self-determination—ultimately rest on their ability to decide whether and when to bear children.

—Susan Faludi (20th century)

“The ships we sank with women and children aboard. The lifeboats we shelled. Mmm ... we were good at that.”
