feminist heroes, #11: Dorothy Allison.
another “i don’t know where i would be without her work” kinda woman. her writings (fiction and nonfiction alike) about class, abuse, sexual trauma, oppression, and women are so important to me that i get teary-eyed just thinking about it.
Class, race, sexuality, gender and all other categories by which we categorize and dismiss each other need to be excavated from the inside.
Two or three things I know for sure, and one is that I’d rather go naked than wear the coat the world has made for me.
