Favorite quote:
A woman cannot make the culture more aware by saying “Change.”
But she can change her own attitude toward herself, thereby
causing devaluing projections to glance off. She does this
by taking back her body. By not forsaking the joy of her natural
body, by not purchasing the popular illusion that happiness
is only bestowed on those of a certain configuration or age,
by not waiting or holding back to do anything, and by taking
back her real life, and living it full bore, all stops out.
This dynamic self-acceptance and self-esteem are what begins
to change attitudes in the culture.
