“Women’s lives change in radical ways, once we stop asking for permission to become the ‘she’ that is scripted for us by our deepest desires. This is not selfish. This is not reactionary. This is our humanity asserting its right. An honest engagement with our own pleasure produces work that is nothing less than transformative—not only for us but for anybody lucky enough to be fucking with us at that time.” —Joan Morgan
