"Feminist writers have consistently argued that a woman’s attempt to cultivate her appearance makes her a dupe of fashion, the plaything of men, & thus a collaborator in her own oppression… Voices from around the world report a variety of conditions & systems under which only one thing holds constant – the universal second-class status of females. If there was ever a moment when the women of one culture had a responsibility toward their sisters in other nations, this is it. We should not waste time quibbling over what to wear to the conflict."
- Linda M. Scott, Fresh Lipstick
