“When the Church tried to silence the most brilliant mind in the Western Hemisphere because that mind belonged to a woman, she answered with the first great manifesto for women's intellectual rights in the Americas — and then the silence came anyway.”

“The hunger to know is planted by God in women exactly as in men — so silencing a woman's mind is not piety but a kind of theft, and every kitchen, cell, and childhood is already a laboratory of philosophy.”
