25 quotes from women writers

This week I am somewhat vindictive, it may be. Yesterday I presented you with an article in which I "remembered" you 5 poems written by women and in the article that I present to you today I bring you nothing more and nothing less than 25 quotes from women writers. Between them, Simone de Beauvoir y Virginia Woolf, two of my favorites in this verbiage.

I hope you enjoy them! And what are they talking about? A bit of everything: life, love, religion, children, etc ...
