Yet then, I think of the generation of my grandmother, who had to stop work when she got married and had absolutely no educational opportunities, and that of my mother, who fought very hard to have a say in what happened to her own body, and I see how far we have come in the space of one century; I see that change really is possible.
Mais je pense alors aux femmes de la génération de ma grand-mère, qui devaient s’arrêter de travailler après le mariage et n’avaient pas la moindre possibilité d’éducation, et de celle de ma mère, qui ont dû lutter âprement pour avoir leur mot à dire concernant leur propre corps.
