    “I don’t think America’s the center of the world anymore. I think African women will lead the way [in] ... women’s liberation ... The African woman, she’s got a country, she’s got the flag, she’s got her own army, got the navy. She doesn’t have a racism problem. She’s not afraid that if she speaks up, her man will say goodbye to her.”
    —Faith Ringgold (b. 1934)

    “Babies control and bring up their families as much as they are controlled by them; in fact ... the family brings up baby by being brought up by him.”
