On page 375- The opening sentence, "Many women feel ambivalent about their bodies. In significant ways women's bodies are a source of empowerment: They create life, give birth, work out, express sensuality and sexuality."
I really liked this quote because to me its saying women have mixed feelings about their bodies, which is so true and completely relatable. Our bodies are a source of empowerment, they should increase our spirituality and give us strength. I never really looked at how important the women body is considering the fact we create life and give birth. Most women and men look at women's bodies and think only the shallow, she's to fat, to skinny, has an abnormal figure. And I think it is really interesting how we can connect a women's body to writing.
