Notable Quotable: Terry Tempest Williams on Finding One's Voice


"How did I find my voice? I don’t think it’s something that you find and you say, "Ah-hah, I have a voice," done, move on. For me, finding my voice is an exercise in daily-ness. And I don’t care who we are or where we find ourselves, especially as women. I think it’s a struggle to speak the truth of our lives. I love Muriel Rukeyser when she asked the great question: 'If a woman were to tell the truth of her life, the world would split open.' The world is splitting open. I really think that now more than ever women are speaking profoundly and it is making a difference." --- Terry Tempest Williams
