» Feminism is a commitment to eradicating the ideology of domination that permeates Western culture on various levels-- sex, race, and class, to name a few-- and a commitment to reorganizing U.S. society, so that the self-development of people can take precedence over imperialism, economic expansion, and material desires.  --bell hooks

» I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat. --Rebecca West
