"If the writer is a woman, feminist or not, it will give the language something that it would not have if it had been used by a man."

Previous Quote

To refuse everything, to say, even when there is something which really should be done, "Ah, that's no longer feminist," is a pessimistic, even masochistic tendency in women, the result of having been habituated to inertia, to pessimism.

— Simone de Beauvoir
