    For being over-frisky,
    Why did He burn all the churches down
    And spare Hotaling’s Whiskey?”
    —For the State of California, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “Advocating the mere tolerance of difference between women is the grossest reformism. It is a total denial of the creative function of difference in our lives. Difference must be not merely tolerated, but seen as a fund of necessary polarities between which our creativity can spark like a dialectic.”
