“When a woman is exhorted to be
compliant, cooperative, and quiet, to not make upset or go against the old
guard, she is pressed into living a most unnatural life -- a life that is
self-blinding...without innovation. The world-wide issue for women is that
under such conditions they are not only silenced, they are put to sleep. Their
concerns, their viewpoints, their own truths are vaporized" ~Clarissa
