No other group in America has so had their identity socialized out of existence as have black women… When black people are talked about the focus tends to be on black men and when women are talked about the focus tends to be on white women. – Bell Hooks
The Company of Wolves is about how society teaches young women to look at themselves, and what to be afraid of. Its about a girl learning that the world of sensuality and the unknown is not to be feared, that its worth getting your teeth into. – Neil Jordan
