The contemporary ravages of the beauty backlash are destroying women physically and depleting us psychologically. If we are to free ourselves from the dead weight that has once again been made out of femaleness, it is not ballots or lobbyists or placards that women will need first; it is a new way to see. "

8 " The most important principle in your relationship with time is that time is perishable. No one can save time. It’s not like money.
