Leila Khaled: In the beginning, all women had to prove that we could be equal to men in armed struggle. So we wanted to be like men -- even in our appearance… I no longer think it’s necessary to prove ourselves as women by imitating men. I have learned that a woman can be a fighter, a freedom fighter, a political activist, and that she can fall in love, and be loved, she can be married, have children, be a mother… Revolution must mean life also; every aspect of life. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3245
