The Conversation about women’s bodies exists largely outside of us, while it is also directed at (and marketed to) us, and used to define and control us. The Conversation about women happens everywhere, publicly and privately.

Our voices, our personhood, our potential, and our accomplishments are regularly minimized and muted.
