"We have to consciously study how to be tender with each other until it becomes a habit because what was native has been stolen from us, the love of Black women for each other."― Audre Lorde Topic(s): WomenMore From Audre Lorde"But the true feminist deals out of a lesbian consciousness whether or not she ever sleeps with women.""Black women are programmed to define ourselves within this male attention and to compete with each other for it rather than to recognize and move upon our common interests.""Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before."More In Women"Women speak because they wish to speak, whereas a man speaks only when driven to speak by something outside himself like, for instance, he can’t find any clean socks."― Jean Kerr"Women like myself, CEOs, can pave the way for more women to get to the top."― Andrea Jung"I always play women I would date."― Angelina Jolie
