  • “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” Margaret Atwood
  • "If you DJ reality, that is, if you make a mash-up of actual reality, which is partly what that book is, you’re going to end up with something that inevitably people will say, This is feminist. Because you cannot avoid that." Margaret Atwood
  • Just as if you do a mash-up of reality from the point of view of African Americans in this country, you’re going to end up with something that will say, “This is Black Lives Matter.” It’s not that people necessarily have started out from that premise. But if you’re looking at reality, that will be the result because that is reality." Margaret Atwood
  • "I didn’t put anything into the book that has not happened sometime, somewhere. Or wasn’t happening then and isn’t happening now. So you can call that feminist, if you like. I didn’t start from ideology." Margaret Atwood
