Inspiring Words

You don't have to be anti-man to be pro-woman. ~ Jane Galvin Lewis
..........
I think it’s about time we voted for senators with breasts. After all, we’ve been voting for boobs long enough.
~ Clarie Sargent, Arizona senatorial candidate
..........
Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, “She doesn’t have what it takes.” They will say, “Women don’t have what it takes.”
~Clare Boothe Luce
..........
I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a door mat or a prostitute.
~Rebecca West
..........
Women belong in the house... and the Senate. ~Author Unknown
..........
Women are the only oppressed group in our society that lives in intimate association with their oppressors.
~Evelyn Cunningham

~Anaïs Nin
..........
Man endures pain as an undeserved punishment; woman accepts it as a natural heritage.

I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.

Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men.
~Joseph Conrad
..........
Men are taught to apologize for their weaknesses, women for their strengths.
~Lois Wyse
..........
I became a feminist as an alternative to becoming a masochist.
~Sally Kempton
..........
It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union.... Men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less.
~Susan B. Anthony
..........
There is a special place in hell for women who do not help other women.
~Madeleine K. Albright
..........
I am working for the time when unqualified blacks, browns, and women join the unqualified men in running our government.
~Cissy Farenthold
