As a woman, I know that if I write about another woman, it will be perceived as a catfight.

Every woman must own her story; otherwise we are all part of the silence.

I read a piece of writing and within a paragraph or two I know whether it is by a woman or not.

I think women tend to write about how violence feels, whereas men tend to write about what violence looks like.

I think women have every right to feel like they're the protagonists in their own stories.
