from the book GRRRLS by Amy Raphael
"We did women-only shows to challenge the acceptance of violence against women on all levels. The women as the centre of things. Seperatist shows do not revolve around stopping boys from coming to shows- they are a way of bringing women/girls together and actually feeling different for our pleasure."
"There is so much that i want to do and see my friends do and all the other girls and women I have in my head when I'm writing, when I'm really letting go. I want them to be something, to stand out, whether it be education or law or music or whatever it is that you need to do to be tough to not be told this thing that you want to do is not within you to do."
