I think I’m a big romantic, so being part of those stories, that’s such a big part of anyone’s life in general, that’s such a humane thing.

I think feminism and the feminist movement and finding a community of women through feminism, all of these things, sort of feels like it’s been creating this forcefield around me which has been insulating me from all sorts of cold weather, sexism and patriarchy.

We think we live in a post-feminist society, and we do not. So we’re told we don’t need feminism anymore, that we have the vote and we’re all good. And I think, actually, that’s incredibly disconcerting because then when young women move into the world and they realize, ‘Oh, why am I not being paid the same? Why am I being treated differently?’ And they start to blame themselves, because they don’t understand they’re part of a historic pattern. They’re part of a much larger system which is working a little bit against them.
