Courage to be is the key to revelatory power of the feminist revolution.
Interpretation
Embracing one's identity and existence is essential for the transformative strength of feminism.
Mary Daly emphasizes that the essence of feminism lies in the courage to embrace one's existence and identity. This courage acts as a powerful catalyst for change and revelation within the feminist movement, allowing individuals to challenge societal norms and assert their rights and identities confidently.
In practice

I urge you to sin. But not against these itty-bitty religions, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism-or their secular derivatives, Marxism, Maoism, Freudianism and Jungianism-whic h are all derivatives of the big religion of patriarchy. Sin against the infrastructure itself!
Patriarchy has stolen our cosmos and returned it in the form of 'Cosmopolitan' magazine and cosmetics.
Every woman who has come to consciousness can recall an almost endless series of oppressive, violating, insulting, assaulting acts against her Self. Every woman is battered by such assaults - is on a psychic level, a battered woman.
Patriarchy appears to be everywhere. Even outer space and the future have been colonized. As a rule, even the more imaginative science-fiction writers (allegedly the most foretelling futurists) cannot/will not create a space and time in which women get far beyond the role of space stewardess.
Within a culture possessed by the myth of feminine evil, the naming, describing, and theorizing about good and evil has constituted a maze/haze of deception. The journey of women becoming is breaking through this maze - springing into free space, which is an a-mazing process.
I had explained that a woman's asking for equality in the church would be comparable to a black person's demanding equality in the Ku Klux Klan

The hardest victory is the victory over self.
Women have to summon courage to fulfill dormant dreams.
There is no power in the world that can stop the forward march of free men and women when they are joined in the solidarity of human brotherhood.
If somebody's trying to shut you up, sing louder, and if possible, better.
I believe that one day the world will judge the witch hunt against homosexuals just as harshly as it judges the Spanish Inquisition and the Holocaust.
