• En cuanto el principal valor social de la mujer dejó de definirse como la consecución de una domesticidad virtuosa, el mito de la belleza lo redefinió como la consecución de una belleza virtuosa. Lo hizo para sustituir tanto un nuevo imperativo de consumo como una nueva justificación de la injusticia económica en el lugar de trabajo, donde los antiguos habían perdido su control sobre las mujeres recién liberadas.

• There is this giant void in the culture about women in that age group as heroines, as romantic beings, as sexual beings and as creative beings, and there's not that void for men. Women don't stop being all those things as their lives continue into those decades.

• En los Estados Unidos de los años 70, las protestas solían ser muy eficaces, pero en décadas posteriores los ayuntamientos han creado sigilosamente una red de "sobrepermisividad", requisitos diseñados para sofocar la libertad de reunión y el derecho a solicitar al gobierno la reparación de agravios, ambos recogidos en nuestra primera enmienda.

• Cosmetic surgery is not "cosmetic," and human flesh is not "plastic." Even the names trivialize what it is. It's not like ironing wrinkles in fabric, or tuning up a car, or altering outmoded clothes, the current metaphors. Trivialization and infantilization pervade the surgeons' language when they speak to women: "a nip," a "tummy tuck."...Surgery changes one forever, the mind as well as the body. If we don't start to speak of it as serious, the millennium of the man-made woman will be upon us, and we will have had no choice.
