Famous quotes containing the words young and/or girl:
“Most young black females learn to be suspicious and critical of feminist thinking long before they have any clear understanding of its theory and politics.... Without rigorously engaging feminist thought, they insist that racial separatism works best. This attitude is dangerous. It not only erases the reality of common female experience as a basis for academic study; it also constructs a framework in which differences cannot be examined comparatively.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
“Surely spring will allow
a girl without a stitch on
to turn softly in her sunlight
and not be afraid of her bed.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
