"Sitting with Ricki, talking with Ricki, I made a vow to her: that I would use everything I knew, including from prostitution, to make the women’s movement stronger and better; that I’d give my life to the movement and for the movement. I promised to be honor-bound to the well-being of women, to do anything necessary for that well-being. I promised to live and to die if need be for women. I made that vow some thirty years ago, and I have not betrayed it yet."
— Andrea Dworkin, Heartbreak: The Political Memoir of a Feminist Militant (2002)
