Brave Quote by Andrea Dworkin

“Freedom is not an abstaction, nor is a little of it enough. A little more is not enough either. Having less, being less, empoverished in freedom and rights, women then invariably have less self-respect: less self-respect than any human being needs to live a brave and honest life.” quote by Andrea Dworkin — Download Open image
