    A feminist was someone who lived life fully, who endured what came to her and triumphed over it. A feminist was someone who acted, who set her sights on a dream and made it come true. A feminist was someone who loved deeply, and who allowed that lover to change her. She was complicated and sometimes contradictory, witty and full of integrity. A feminist, in my mind, was a woman full of potential.
