“All social orders hierarchically organized into relations of domination and subordination create particular subject positions within with the subordination can legitimately function. These subject positions, once self-consciously recognized by their inhabitants, can become transfigured into effective sites of resistance to an oppressive ordering of power relations. ”

--Chela Sandoval, Methodology of the Oppressed (2000)
