quote

I felt so intertwined with it that I had no identity except the girl at the piano and I didn’t respect it anymore, mainly because I wanted this piano to make me worth something. I wanted it to bring me friends and recognition. I guess it’s like any job you do — you think it’s going to give you a sense of yourself. Well, I didn’t get any recognition, so I felt that I had failed it and that it had failed me. It was very much a relationship. I had to leave the piano for awhile until I could approach it as an instrument, not as a tool to make me feel like I had bitchin’ friends.

quote

The anger of rural women, Native Indian women, nomad or peasant or village women — the unheard of of the earth — is a feminist anger, which might surprise some readers who ethnocentrically may have thought some women untouched by feminism. Feminism has been invented, and continuously reinvented, precisely by such women.

from the introduction of Sisterhood is Global: The International Women’s Movement Anthology (pg.19)

Fellow white feminists - fucking take note of this, pls. Thanks.

see also: women who have lost their homes to foreclosure or are fighting to save them, women who are fighting to preserve access to education for themselves and their children. what are these fights if not feminist? remember when women couldn’t own property? now we’re losing it in much greater proportion than men. remember when women couldn’t go to college? now we’re being priced out of it, saddled with debt.

these are feminist issues, people. I don’t give a shit if the women trying to keep their homes call themselves feminist, I don’t care if the woman desperately trying to find a job to feed her family calls herself feminist, I don’t care if the kids sitting down with arms linked to protest tuition hikes (or marching in the streets) call themselves, feminist. these are feminist issues, and institutional feminism has basically ignored them.
