give me liberty! or give me television!
Comrades, there is no true social revolution without the liberation of women. May my eyes never see and my feet never take me to a society where half the people are held in silence. I hear the roar of women’s silence. I sense the rumble of their storm and feel the fury of their revolt. I await and hope for the fertile eruption of the revolution through which they will transmit the power and the rigorous justice issued from their oppressed wombs.
Comrades, forward to conquer the future.
The future is revolutionary.
The future belongs to those who fight.
Homeland or death, we will triumph!
—Thomas Sankara, International Women’s Day, 1987
