A Mind and a Voice

One quote that stuck out to me was when Kolodny writes that, "if we are to survive, to challenge the (accepted and generally male) authority who has traditionally wielded the power to determine what may be written and how it shall be read." (175) One reason this quote stuck in my mind is because it used to be considered bad for a woman to read or write or think for herself, and this states what many have accepted and worked towards, which is making sure women have a voice that is heard.
