| b1b6a7e | A child of about eleven, garbed in a very short, very tight, very ugly dress of yellowish-gray wincey. She wore a faded brown sailor hat and beneath the hat, extending down her back, were two braids of very thick, decidedly red hair.

| d4aedba | I hate to go mincing through life, afraid to take a single long step for fear somebody is watching. I want to "wave my wild tail and walk by my wild lone." There wasn't a bit of real harm in my opening that window and talking to Perry. There wasn't even any harm in his trying to kiss me. He just did it to tease me. Oh, I hate conventions.

| a1511aa | If women want a feminist revolution--ours is a world that is crying out for feminist revolution--then we must assume responsibility for drawing women together in political solidarity.

| 48e33e5 | Maintaining connections with family and community across class boundaries demands more than just summary recall of where one's roots are, where one comes from.

One must also honestly confront barriers that do exist, aspects of that past that do dimini.. | family | bell hooks | |

| fd79ea9 | Contrary to what some folks would have us believe, it is not tragic, even if undesirable, for a person to leave a liberal arts education not having read major works from this canon. Their lives are not ending. And the exciting dimension of knowledge is that we can learn a work without formally studying it. If a student graduates without reading Shakespeare and then reads or studies this work later, it does not delegitimize whatever formal c.. | bell hooks | ||
| 66761d1 | Read everything you can push into your skull. Read your mother's diary. Read Assata. Read everything Gloria Steinem and bell hooks write.

| e1cf98f | How does one undermine the framework of racial reasoning? By dismantling each pillar slowly and systematically.
