"No matter how explicit the pledge, people will turn and twist the text to suit their own purpose"

Previous Quote

Long before I became a feminist in any explicit way, I had turned from writing love stories about women in which women were losers, and adventure stories about men in which the men were winners, to writing adventure stories about a woman in which the woman won. It was one of the hardest things I ever did in my life.
