No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body. No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother.
Margaret Sanger

I didn't know how much I cared about having a woman on the court until the day there was a woman on the court.
Nina Totenberg
-
It is fatal to be a man or woman pure and simple: one must be a woman manly, or a man womanly.
Virginia Woolf
-
To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
Helen Rowland

Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country.

A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.

I like to help women help themselves, as that is, in my opinion, the best way to settle the woman question. Whatever we can do and do well we have a right to, and I don't think any one will deny us.
Louisa May Alcott
-
I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too.
Elizabeth I
-
I will feel equality has arrived when we can elect to office women who are as incompetent as some of the men who are already there.
Maureen Reagan

The higher mental development of woman, the less possible it is for her to meet a congenial male who will see in her, not only sex, but also the human being, the friend, the comrade and strong individuality, who cannot and ought not lose a single trait of her character.

When a woman tells the truth she is creating the possibility for more truth around her.
Adrienne Rich
-
When women are the advisers, the lords of creation don't take the advice till they have persuaded themselves that it is just what they intended to do; then they act upon it, and if it succeeds, they give the weaker vessel half the credit of it; if it fails, they generously give her the whole.
Louisa May Alcott

A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.
Nancy Reagan
-
Of all the wastes of human ignorance perhaps the most extravagant and costly to human growth has been the waste of the distinctive powers of womanhood after the child-bearing age.
Anna Garlin Spencer
-
If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.
Abigail Adams

For what is done or learned by one class of women becomes, by virtue of their common womanhood, the property of all women.

The day will come when men will recognize woman as his peer, not only at the fireside, but in councils of the nation. Then, and not until then, will there be the perfect comradeship, the ideal union between the sexes that shall result in the highest development of the race.
Susan B. Anthony

No woman has to be a victim of physical abuse. Women have to feel like they are not alone.
Salma Hayek
-
I talk to women's groups all over the country and see women struggling with this. The fear of not being accepted, of being different, of not having a man, all make it hard for a woman to do what she really believes is right for her.
Olympia Dukakis

The male is a domestic animal which, if treated with firmness, can be trained to do most things.
Jilly Cooper

Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades. A mode of conduct, a standard of courage, discipline, fortitude, and integrity can do a great deal to make a woman beautiful.

Recently a young mother asked for advice. What, she wanted to know, was she to do with a 7-year-old who was obstreperous, outspoken, and inconveniently willful? "Keep her," I replied. The suffragettes refused to be polite in demanding what they wanted or grateful for getting what they deserved. Works for me.

Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.

A woman, especially, if she have the misfortune of knowing anything, should conceal it as well as she can.
Jane Austen

I am a liberated woman. And I do believe if a woman does equal work she should be paid equal money. But personally I am feminine and I do like male authority to lean on.

Once more I can climb about and remind you that a woman in this epoch does the important literary thinking.
Gertrude Stein

When I stopped seeing my mother through the eyes of a child, I saw the woman who helped me give birth to myself.
Nancy Friday

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
Lana Turner

No one is more arrogant toward women, more aggressive or scornful, than the man who is anxious about his virility.
Simone de Beauvoir

Some people think having large breasts makes a woman stupid. Actually, it's quite the opposite: a woman having large breasts makes men stupid.
Rita Rudner

The basic discovery about any people is the discovery of the relationship between its men and its women.
