A Quote by Madonna Ciccone
And then, going to high school, I saw how popular girls had to behave to get the boys. I knew I couldn't fit into that. So I decided to do the opposite. I refused to wear makeup, to have a hairstyle. I refused to shave. I had hairy armpits.

But she refused to pull away, refused to give in." (page 33 , Gollancz edition)
