"Wie meer wil weten over de vrouwenbeweging moet het boekje 'Wilde Haren' er maar eens op naslaan. Daarin geven vrouwen onder leiding van journalist Renee de Borst en Antoinette Visser op aanstekelijke manier hun visie op de Haarlemse Vrouwenbeweging. En de verhalende foto's van Sjan Bijman, een van de leukste feministen die ik ken, ondersteunen hun relaas." - Ko van Leeuwen, journalist Noord Hollands Dagblad, NL, Febr 2011
