Life changing literary quotes.

I wanna read more female authors. At least the good ones. I only know a handful of them. I don't want to be a misogynistic retard. So recommend me female authors and poets. I know some Shelley, Austen, Woolf, Brontë sisters, Emily Dickinson. Any more recommendations for me.

brother, you have nothing in common with your ancestors of 500-1000 years ago. Culture changes, like everything else. That's why nationalism and conservatism is flawed at the core. Only change is constant.
