Canadian Quotes: Sally Armstrong
On July 26th, we celebrate Sally Armstrong!
Young women are talking in ways they haven't before. For example, the taboo against speaking out about sexual assault has been broken. Everyone knows that if you can't talk about it, you can't change it. Now they are talking.
This is the girl talk that's altering the relationship between political will, public will, and personal will.
Political will may lag behind. Public will may surge ahead or retreat. But what salvages both of them is the person who stands up and says, "This is what I want." That electrifies the public and the political.
- from Power Shift: The Longest Revolution by Sally Armstrong
