Revolution must mean life also; every aspect of life." Leila Khaled



In the beginning, all women had to prove that we could be equal to men in armed struggle. So we wanted to be like men - even in our appearance... I no longer think it's necessary to prove ourselves as women by imitating men.
I have learned that a woman can be a fighter, a freedom fighter, a political activist, and that she can fall in love, and be loved, she can be married, have children, be a mother...
Revolution must mean life also; every aspect of life.\" Leila Khaled
