Quote #10
Felicity ignores us. She walks out toward them, an apparition in white and blue velvet, her head held high as they stare in awe at her, the goddess. I don't yet know what power feels like. But this is surely what it looks like, and I think I'm beginning to understand why those ancient women had to hide in caves. (18.15)
Even though women are generally denied power in this book, they still have sexual power. It's not much, but here we see Felicity working with what she has.
