“I have this idea of myself when I’m older, having had a career and having done acting and activism and affecting the world in some sort of way, and I’m a bit more of a settled feminist—I’m less angry, less angsty. And I’m able to be sort of Zen and just smoke weed on a beach in Southern California with no bra on.”
– Jessica Williams (1989 – )
Taken from an interview with Bust Magazine, Jessica Williams’ words resonate with me. I want to be there someday, too – maybe not in southern California, but somewhere chilling and braless and not giving a damn and yet being a compassionate mofo. She is such a class act and makes me feel like I haven’t accomplished nearly as much as I should have by now – but her amazingness also helps me love myself just a little bit more.
In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re posting Quotable Quickies on Friday commemorating kickass women. Feel free to share some awesome women you admire in the comments below or even leave a link to your own post!

I think there might be a few old bra less activists smoking weed on the beach in Oz and quite possibly naked in the quieter sand dunes of Byron Bay 🙂

Being less angry sounds like a dream at this point.

Well, there’s a lot to be angry about, to be honest.

Every Friday I write a column called Feminist Friday about famous and unknown women who rock the world. I provide a link for anyone to share their stories about women. It can be found at http://www.haddonmusings.com/feminist/Friday. A fun quote, Ginger Rogers could do everything Fred Astaire did backwards and in high heals.
