To be a feminist, one has to first become one. For many feminists, this involves the experience of a profound personal transformation, an experience which goes far beyond the sphere of human activity we regard ordinarily as 'political.' ~Sandra Bartky, "Phenomenology of Feminist Consciousness."

Philosophia est ars vitae. ~Cicero

"The problem that we are now seeing is that the self, dismembered by living amongst others and presently in search of union with itself, is still split, still fragmented.
