Lady Pink - Quote

 “It's difficult for a woman to be involved with Graffiti. There is an attitude that women are too weak and also a liability, or the attitude that they just can't do it. I was 15 at the time and I didn't want to hear that. As a woman in Graffit you might as well throw your reputation in the dirt. Everyone thinks you sleep around with the guys . I needed to hold my head up and prove that I could do it for other women...”
