Ich selbst konnte nie bis ins einzelne feststellen, was Feminismus ist: ich weiß nur, daß ich dann als Feministin abgestempelt werde, wenn ich Meinungen vertrete, die mich von einer Prostituierten oder einer Fußmatte unterscheiden.Rebecca West
Translation (German)
I myself have never been able to find out what feminism is; I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute.Rebecca West
Original (English)
"Ich selbst konnte nie bis ins einzelne feststellen, was Feminismus ist: ich weiß nur, daß ich dann als Feministin abgestempelt werde, wenn ich Meinungen vertrete, die mich von einer Prostituierten oder einer Fußmatte unterscheiden."
