Pocket Feminism

«My fantasy is a tommy gun.

When I go down the street and a stranger tells me something: tommy gun. When the on duty politician makes the on duty sexist comment: tommy gun. When the bishop explains in the newspapers how is that we don’t want to be raped, if we ask for free and affordable abortion: tommy gun. When in school it is valued to infinity that the father of the creatures attend the meetings, but it is assumed the attendance of mothers: tommy gun. When I get kicked out of work because I'm pregnant: tommy gun. When they tell me not to be exalted, that there is no such thing: tommy gun.

It might seem like a violent fantasy, but it is not; it's a fantasy of self-defense.»

Survival Kit.

The most defining feature of this brave and brilliant author is that her literature never flees conflict, either intimate or collective.
