How would you distinguish the feminism in your work from your mother’s or from Katie’s? Is it important to you that readers understand your work as feminist? If not, why not?
Last night, Marco Roth asked Emily Carter this question and I desperately wish I had transcribed her entire response. I don’t want to misquote her but I do remember that the sense of it was that her writing itself, the fact of its existence, is a feminist act. “When you look at a girl, and she looks back and looks you in the eye, whether she knows it or not, that’s a feminist act.”
