A quote is hidden within the cavity of each chrysalis, the exterior of which has been inspired by the message within:
“Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.”
Maya Angelou
“It's not my responsibility to be beautiful. I'm not alive for that purpose. My existence is not about how desirable you find me.” Warsan Shire
“I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.” Audre Lorde
“No woman can call herself free who does not control her own body.” Margaret Sanger
“...her wings are cut and then she is blamed for not knowing how to fly.” Simone de Beauvoir
“Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn’t be that women are the exception.” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
“I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night...” Sylvia Plath
“To sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.” Joan of Arc
“Women may be the one group that grows more radical with age.” Gloria Steinem
“Justice is about making sure that being polite is not the same thing as being quiet. In fact, often times, the most righteous thing you can do is shake the table.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
“Red lipstick was synonymous with power and strength, specifically during the Suffragettes movement.
Red lipstick became a part of their uniform.” Asia Milia Ware
“A rat in a maze is free to go anywhere, as long as it stays inside the maze.” Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale.
