"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." (page 375)
When I first read this quote my thought was why weren't women the dominant sex, in many ways we are the creators, how was men able to to demean women and get away with it back then and even now? This quote really made me think of the body, particularly the female body and how much pain it is put in, physically and emotionally.
