When I learnt, however, that in 1911 there had been twenty-one regular feminist periodicals in Britain, that there was a feminist book shop, a woman's press, and a woman's bank run by and for women, I could no longer accept that the reason I knew almost nothing about women of the past was because there were so few of them, and they had done so little. ~ Dale Spender
Feminist Book quotes by Dale Spender
My mom wasn't, like, she was reading all these historical romance novels the majority of the time. She read a feminist book and then my dad would sit down and explain it to her like she was an idiot. ~ Kathleen Hanna
Feminist Book quotes by Kathleen Hanna
A penis is a penis, but a hard-on is more like a message you send to other people. It's a desire, not a body part."
Brandt swiveled his chair around to face Donnelly, "'It's a desire, not a body part'? What kind of fucked-up angry feminist book did you get that out of?"
--Donnelly & Brandt ~ Xavier Mayne
Feminist Book quotes by Xavier Mayne
As a child of the millennial generation, I was raised in a society in which we were under the misconception that women and men had reached equality. With the exception of very few matriarchal societies, women were more liberated than they had ever been in history. In America's middle class, basic education was practically handed to us. We have the ability to obtain a higher education and career without men. So it took me nearly a decade after becoming sexually active to realize that, as a woman, I was socially oppressed. I grew up in a world where a woman's abstinence until marriage was highly praised and if she must participate in premarital sex, to limit that activity to as few partners as possible. It was considered tacky to openly discuss my sexual encounters. I was also taught that, as a woman, I was hormonally programmed to be more emotional than men. If I had sex with a man, I was supposed to feel some sort of intimate attachment. If I didn't, I was a cruel-hearted slut. ~ Maggie Young
Feminist Book quotes by Maggie Young
That evening, in her apartment, still in Warsaw, Ana takes down a book from her shelf – a rather thick, ordinary paperback. It looks old, because it's worn out and somehow shabby. But it's not ordinary. I can tell by the way she handles it so carefully, like something unique. 'This is the book I told you about,' she says, holding out the Anthology of Feminist Texts, a collection of early American feminist essays, 'the only feminist book translated into the Polish language,' the only such book to turn to when you are sick and tired of reading about man-eater/man-killer feminists from the West, I think, looking at it, imagining how many women have read this one copy. 'Sometimes I feel like I live on Jupiter, among Jupiterians, and then one day, quite by chance, I discover that I belong to another species. And I discover it in this book. Isn't that wonderful. ~ Slavenka Drakulic
Feminist Book quotes by Slavenka Drakulic
Writing a film - more precisely, adapting a book into a film - is basically a relentless series of compromises. The skill, the "art," is to make those compromises both artistically valid and essentially your own ... It has been said before but is worth reiterating: writing a novel is like swimming in the sea; writing a film is like swimming in the bath. ~ William Boyd
Feminist Book quotes by William Boyd
Get back in the box. Set it for home, present day. Go see your mom. Bring your dad. Have dinner, the three of you. Go find The Woman You Never Married and see if she might want to be The Woman You Are Going To Marry Someday. Step out of this box. Pop open the hatch. The forces within the chronohydraulic air lock will equalize. Step out into the world of time and risk and loss again. Move forward, into the emily plane. Find the book you wrote, and read it until the end, but don't turn the last page yet, keep stalling, see how long you can keep expanding the infinitely expandable moment. Enjoy the elastic present, which can accommodate as little or as much as you want to put in there. Stretch it out, live inside of it. ~ Charles Yu
Feminist Book quotes by Charles Yu
I have studied this Book, and I would never even dream of saying I've come to the bottom of the Word of God. ~ Adrian Rogers
Feminist Book quotes by Adrian Rogers
I daily disconnect and read a good book or listen to a good sermon or call a friend or my mom and talk on the phone with my feet up. I also take baths with bath salts that I make myself. ~ Kim Alexis
Feminist Book quotes by Kim Alexis
It's easier to revise lousy writing than to revise a blank sheet of paper. ~ S.A. Bodeen
Feminist Book quotes by S.A. Bodeen
All readers are good readers, when they have the right book. ~ Jeanne Herry
Feminist Book quotes by Jeanne Herry
Objectifying your own novel while writing it never really helps. Instead, I guess while you're writing you need to think: This is the novel I want to write. And when you're done you need to think: This is what the novel I wanted to write feels like and reads like and looks like. Other people might call it sweeping or small, but it's the book you chose. ~ Meg Wolitzer
Feminist Book quotes by Meg Wolitzer
Elliot was trying to teach himself trollish via a two-hundred-year-old book by a man who'd had a traumatic break-up with a troll. This meant a lot of commentary along the lines of "This is how trolls say I love you. FOOTNOTE: BUT THEY DON'T MEAN IT! ~ Sarah Rees Brennan
Feminist Book quotes by Sarah Rees Brennan
Merlin: "Grown-ups have developed an unpleasant habit lately, I notice, of comforting themselves for their degradation by pretending that children are childish. I trust we are free of this?"
Arthur: "Everybody knows that children are more intelligent than their parents."
Merlin: "You and I know it, but the people who are going to read this book do not.
Our readers of that time ( ... ) have exactly three ideas in their magnificent noodles. The first is that the human species is superior to others. The second, that the twentieth century is superior to other centuries. And the third, that human adults of the twentieth century are superior to their young. ( ... ) ~ T.H. White
Feminist Book quotes by T.H. White
To be able to turn at will, in a book of your own, to those passages which count for you, is to have your wealth at instant command, and your books become a record of your intellectual adventures... ~ John Livingston Lowes
Feminist Book quotes by John Livingston Lowes
Women have seen that they have locked themselves up with feminist writing. ~ Nathalie Sarraute
Feminist Book quotes by Nathalie Sarraute
All I need in life:
1. A book
2. Cookies and milk
3. A friend to share them with
4. SHERBIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~ Me
Feminist Book quotes by Me
Honestly, my entire childhood could be summed up with one word: Reader. I was always hunched over a book; in fact, I was the only kid in the world who got paler in the summer, because I'd sneak down into our cool, dank cellar and sit alone with a book for hours. ~ Kristan Higgins
Feminist Book quotes by Kristan Higgins
If I write a book I do it mostly for myself for the child in me and for the adult in me. The criterion for my children's books is: If I were a child would I like it That's very egotistical but it's the same thing with my books for adults. I wouldn't do a book if I didn't want to partake and share. With a book I can do both: I give and I share. ~ Tomi Ungerer
Feminist Book quotes by Tomi Ungerer
The secret to a well balanced life is a cup of tea in one hand and a good book in the other ~ The Tea Spot
Feminist Book quotes by The Tea Spot
A book: "A haven for provocation and privacy ~ Edward P. Morgan
Feminist Book quotes by Edward P. Morgan
Now, paper and pencils, said Miss Marcy, clapping her hands.
Writing paper is scarce in this house, and I had no intention of tearing sheets out of this exercise book, which is a superb sixpenny one the Vicar gave me. In the end, Miss Marcy took the middle pages out of her library record, which gave us a pleasant feeling that we were stealing from the government, and then we sat round the table and elected her chairman. ~ Dodie Smith
Feminist Book quotes by Dodie Smith
Ignore donkeys and other naysayers! ~ Mary Buchan
Feminist Book quotes by Mary Buchan
The true hero in the Black Swan world is someone who prevents a calamity and, naturally, because the calamity did not take place, does not get recognition - or a bonus - for it. I will be taking the concept deeper in Book VII, on ethics, about the unfairness of a bonus system and how such unfairness is magnified by complexity. ~ Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Feminist Book quotes by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
This is not your standard "How to restore" your VW Beetle book. It's also not a workshop manual. Aside from a basic rundown on the differences between various bug models through the years, there is a section on some things you can do to preserve your bug. Mostly however, what I've done is reviewed all the things I did to my bugs
and put those ideas together as cheap, skillful, cheap, d.i.y, cheap means of enhancing your grocery getter's performance and handling. ~ Christina Engela
Feminist Book quotes by Christina Engela
Her heart did whisper that he had done it for her. ~ Jane Austen
Feminist Book quotes by Jane Austen
The curse of comic book adaptations, when I was younger, was that the director or producer would go, "Don't worry about it, it's just a comic book." ~ Len Wein
Feminist Book quotes by Len Wein
You can't just be you. You have to double yourself. You have to read books on subjects you know nothing about. You have to travel to places you never thought of traveling. You have to meet every kind of person and endlessly stretch what you know. ~ Mary Wells Lawrence
Feminist Book quotes by Mary Wells Lawrence
When I illustrate a cover or a book, I draw upon what the author tells me; that's how I see my responsibility as an illustrator. J.K. Rowling is very descriptive in her writing - she gives an illustrator a lot to work with. Each story is packed full of rich visual descriptions of the atmosphere, the mood, the setting, and all the different creatures and people. She makes it easy for me. The images just develop as I sketch and retrace until it feels right and matches her vision. ~ Mary Grandpre
Feminist Book quotes by Mary Grandpre
It is an aphorism in physic, that unwholesome airs, because perpetually sucked into the lungs, do distemper health more than coarser diet used but at set times. The like may be said of society, which, if good, is a better refiner of the spirits than ordinary books. ~ Frances Osborne
Feminist Book quotes by Frances Osborne
It's stupid, really," I began again. "But it was this thing I read someplace, and it really got to me. It said that a dictionary is every book ever written and every book that will be written, just in a different order. And it seemed magical. You could own every book just by owning one book. I loved that. And I just had to have it, ~ Sue Halpern
Feminist Book quotes by Sue Halpern
Television and film are our libraries now. Our history books. ~ David Strathairn
Feminist Book quotes by David Strathairn
Tell me what you make of Locke, then, and his difference with Descartes."
Vivian took the book from him and spread her small hand on the morocco leather binding. "Mr. Locke argues that the human mind is a blank tablet at birth... doesn't he?" She glanced at Morgan and received an encouraging nod. "And he claims that knowledge is founded in experience. Thought can only come after we learn through our senses. But I don't think I agree with him entirely. We are not born blank slates, are we? I think some things must exist in us at birth, before experience begins to work upon us. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Feminist Book quotes by Lisa Kleypas
If you just write the kinds of stories you think others will want to read, you'll be competing with cartoonists who are far more enthusiastic for that kind of comic than you are, and they'll kick your ass every time. ~ Scott McCloud
Feminist Book quotes by Scott McCloud
I've only read a few chapters of this book, Trumpet Blast Warning but it's amazing. All of his statements are backed up by original quotes & references from top politicians, the media, etc, so you can check for yourselves & discover this is not a conspiracy theory about world government, it's all backed by facts! All Christians, especially pastors & prayer groups really should read this book. Many thanks to Jason Carter for sending me a copy! ~ Jason Carter
Feminist Book quotes by Jason Carter
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", great story, great film. ~ Deyth Banger
Feminist Book quotes by Deyth Banger
You will stay up all night reading this brilliant and devastating novel the way you might have with a new best friend in junior high-one whose revelations thrilled and terrified you, and whose raw, hard-earned wisdom remade the way you saw the world. It evokes the genius of Angela Pneumans canonical progenitors: Flannery O'Connor, Katherine Anne Porter, Walker Percy. Lay It on My Heart is a gorgeous, riveting, and unforgettable book. ~ Julie Orringer
Feminist Book quotes by Julie Orringer
Writing 'Native Guard,' I didn't know I was working on a single book. I began writing that book because I was interested in the lesser-known history of these black soldiers stationed off the coast of my hometown. ~ Natasha Trethewey
Feminist Book quotes by Natasha Trethewey
A book a day keeps the reality away! ~ Thanha Rahman
Feminist Book quotes by Thanha Rahman
To get a better idea try this: focus on these words, and whatever you do don't let your eyes wander past the perimeter of this page. Now imagine just beyond your peripheral vision, maybe behind you, maybe to the side of you, maybe even in front of you, but right where you can't see it, something is quietly closing in on you, so quiet in fact that you can only hear it as silence. Find those pockets without sound. That's where it is. Right at this moment. But don't look. Keep your eyes here. Now take a deep breath. Go ahead take and even deeper one. Only this time as you start to exhale try to imagine how fast it will happen, how hard it's gonna hit you, how many times it will stab your jugular with it's teeth or are they nails?, don't worry, that particular detail doesn't matter, because before you have time to even process that you should be moving, you should be running, you should at the very least be flinging up your arms – you sure as hell should be getting rid of this book – you won't have time to even scream.

Don't look.

I didn't. ~ Mark Z. Danielewski
Feminist Book quotes by Mark Z. Danielewski
I'm really a library man, or second-hand book man. ~ John Le Carre
Feminist Book quotes by John Le Carre
The more you travel, the better you get at it. It sounds silly, but with experience you learn how to pack the right way. I remember one of my first trips abroad, travelling around Europe by rail, fresh out of high school. I brought all these books with me and a paint set. I really had too much stuff, so I've learnt to be more economical. ~ Roman Coppola
Feminist Book quotes by Roman Coppola
Coming between a trader and his book is like coming between a blue-haired old lady and her lucky slot machine: You will be denying them their pursuit of happiness. ~ Katya G. Cohen
Feminist Book quotes by Katya G. Cohen
