" I grew up mostly an only child. My dad remarried when I was a teenager. And then I had two stepbrothers. And then my dad had a second child. So I have a brother from the time I was 15. But I really grew up feeling like an only child. " - Rebecca Stead

" I personally find the ideas that girls need to cover their shoulders in school a little bit strange… when we’re telling girls, you know, ‘You have to cover your shoulders because otherwise you’re a distraction to other people in your class,’ probably something is wrong. " - Rebecca Stead
