We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains.

Genuine and well-sourced: this is the closing movement of Le Guin's 1986 Bryn Mawr College commencement address, one of her best-known pieces, reprinted in Dancing at the Edge of the World (1989). The 'we are volcanoes / new mountains' passage is quoted from that address routinely and correctly. Surname in the corpus should be corrected to Le Guin.
