"Feminism is for Everybody"

I am at this time reading one of those life changing books. Bell Hooks book "Feminism is for Everybody" has made me even clearer about what it is to be involved in the the feminist movement, what the feminist movement is all about, and what it is to be a feminist - and, this is coming from a self proclaimed feminist in a Women's Studies graduate program. It is a short 100 page, non-academic, book for the masses - it is the kind of book you want to hand to all the people that say "I'm not a feminist, but..."
I just came across a quote that I wanted to remember and share here.

"If any female feels she needs anything beyond herself to legitimate and validate her existence, she is already giving away her power to be self-defining, her agency."
-Bell Hooks, Feminism is for Everybody, p.95
