Inspiring Words

You don't have to be anti-man to be pro-woman. ~ Jane Galvin Lewis

..........
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.

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
