from the first page of dorothy allison’s bastard out of carolina.

fuck yeah dorothy allison

summer highlight.

"Feminism for me was a love affair."

i always loved this essay by dorothy allison. she says, “what made me a feminist were occasional glimpses of my real life on the page” in the trashy books she grew up reading and valorizes the feminist ideal of discomfort. it isnt letting me link, but you can google “dorothy allison notes to a young feminist.”
