“Bitches are good examples of how women can be strong enough to survive even the rigid, punitive socialization of our society. As young girls it never quite penetrated their consciousness that women were supposed to be inferior to men in any but the mother/helpmate role. They asserted themselves as children and never really internalized the slave style of wheedling and cajolery which is called feminine ... All Bitches refused, in mind and spirit, to conform to the idea that there were limits on what they could be and do.”
Joreen, U.S. feminist, political activist, lawyer, writer
