“Pure feminism is nolens volens radical. It necessarily excludes (...) moderation, restriction, half-measures. Being feminist in no way means wanting to obtain a right for a small number of women at the expense of other women à tout prix - being feminist only ever means fighting for the overall liberation of the entire female sex.”

A quote from her writings (machine-translated from German)

for those not in the know:

nolens volens is a Latin phrase that means "willy-nilly" or "willing or unwilling"

à tout prix is a French phrase that means "at all costs", "by any means", or "no matter what"
