Caitlin Moran Quote

Would Jane Austen's characters have spent pages and pages discussing the relationships in their social circle if they'd been a bit more control of their own destinies? Would women fret themselves half to death about how they look and who fancies them if this wasn't the main thing they were still judged on? Would we give so much of a shit about our thighs if we, as a sex, owned the majority of the world's wealth instead of the men?
