..........
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.

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.
