Karoline Leach: In the Shadow of the Dreamchild (London: Peter Owen Ltd, 1999): "Purity was exactly what the Victorians wanted to connect with Carroll, and purity was precisely what it (intermittently) suited Dodgson to have associated with himself. His g
Do you feel that women worldwide have a better chance than men of calling attention to these forms of injustice and making some changes for the good of people and the entire living world? Yes, I do. Because I think women have more empathy, typically speaking, than men, and this is demonstrated in everyday life by just looking around us. This is one of the reasons men have kept women away from decision-making in terms of things like war. Because they knew if enough women stood up and said, “I love my son, and I love her son, and I’m not going to watch them kill one another,” then war would end. Women would have that power, if they had a voice. So I think it’s really easy to see that part of the reason women have been kept so powerless for so long is because they are a danger in the eyes of the men who run the world. Women’s input and courage and wisdom, but mostly their empathy, endangers the world that the men of the ruling class have devised.

"Under 1940- och 50-talet hade Sverige hemliga planer på att utveckla kärnvapen. Det var oroliga tider och överbefälhavare Nils Swedlund ansåg att Sverige behövde en atombomb.
Debatten blev en historisk kraftmätning i svensk utrikespolitik, där det socialdemokratiska kvinnoförbundet med Inga Thorsson i spetsen spelade en viktig roll.
Tillsammans med kampanjen AMSA manade S-kvinnor regeringen att välja avspänning istället för kärnvapen. De möttes av hård kritik. Inga Thorsson och AMSA anklagades för att vara ogenomtänkta, irrationella och till och med farliga."
