"The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet"

- Adrienne Rich

About this Quote

In this quote, Adrienne Rich highlights the power and significance of the relationships in between ladies. She recommends that these connections are often feared since they have the prospective to challenge and change societal standards and class structure. The concept of females coming together and supporting each other is seen as problematic because it breaks the traditional patriarchal systems that have long dominated society. Nevertheless, Rich also emphasizes the potential for these connections to cause positive modification and transformation. By acknowledging the strength and effect of ladies's relationships, Rich challenges the concept that women are weak and helpless, and instead commemorates the potential for their connections to produce an effective force for modification.
