“The women cross their ankles, their flats kicked off and carried by Sissy back to the foyer, where they are paired and lined in rows: Pappagallos in various colors, sandals with daisies chiseled in the cowhide, or bright, artificial flowers attached to the straps. Now in the soft glow of the lighted room, the women’s feet, bare and colored at the toe, caress the Corsican rug. They have had another round of drinks; they are trying to think of what to say next.”

                     --Kate Walbert, A Short History of Women, 2009

“AND I DON’T USE GUNS–THE INSANE WEAPON OF AN INSANE SPECIES! VIOLENCE BEGETS VIOLENCE! DIDN’T YOU EVER LEARN ANYTHING FROM HISTORY–OR MAYBE FROM JOHN AND YOKO?””

                     --Linda Fite, THE CAT, Vol. 1, No. 1, 
                            "Beware the Claws of...The Cat!," 1972
