A Living Thought

"A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged; it is the skin of a living thought." -Oliver Wendall Holmes

I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We’ve been taught that silence would save us, but it won’t.
