Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a womans career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
“Its babe feminismwere young, were fun, we do what we want in bedand it has a shorter shelf life than the feminism of sisterhood. Ive been a babe, and Ive been a sister. Sister lasts longer.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
