Famous quotes containing the words black and/or gear:
“the black wings
of the
hospital where
nothing
will grow”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
“For women ... bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can’t possibly fit. Without these visual references, each individual woman’s body demands to be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
