Michelle Obama
“Do we settle for the world as it is, or do we work for the world as it should be?”
Michelle Obama, Becoming

Chandler Baker
“We knew we shouldn’t be ashamed. We weren’t ashamed. We were grown-ass women—which is obviously why we paraded to the restrooms with tampons secretly stuffed into our cardigan sleeves as though we were spies delivering encrypted information.
....We pretended that all of this was a myth. That we had neither fallopian tubes, nor menstrual cycles, nor breasts, nor moods, nor children. And then we took it as a compliment when one of the men in the office told us we had balls. So, tell us again how this wasn’t a man’s world.”
Chandler Baker, Whisper Network

“You can be both soft and intense. Both vulnerable and strong. Both traditional and rebellious. Both romantic and realistic. Both feminine and oceanic yet filled with slow burning fire. There is possibility inside of paradox. There is a universe of different perceptions.”
Victoria Erickson

Michelle Obama
“Everyone on Earth, they'd tell us, was carrying around an unseen history, and that alone deserved some tolerance.”
Michelle Obama, Becoming

“Although it seems that most people with endometriosis begin having symptoms at or around the time of their first period (whether they know it or not), calling endometriosis a “period problem” doesn’t account for the phenomenon of endometrial lesions found in the pelvic cavities of fetuses. Fetuses who have, clearly, not menstruated. Endometriosis has been discovered during fetal autopsies, a finding that seriously challenges the widely held belief that endometriosis is strictly a menstruation-dependent disease.”
Abby Norman, Ask Me About My Uterus: A Quest to Make Doctors Believe in Women's Pain
