A quote from a book I've been thinking about lately::

"IT happened. There is no avoiding it, no forgetting. No running away, or flying, or burying, or hiding. Andy Evans raped me last August when I was drunk and too young to know what was happening. It wasn't my fault. He hurt me. It wasn't my fault. And I'm not going to let it kill me. I can grow."
~Melinda in Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

    A Feminist, quoting from good books, and working mostly in English?

    Never thought I'd find that out!
