Isak Dinesen in WOMEN
We women are always in danger of living too exclusively in the affections; and though our affections are perhaps the best gifts we have, we ought also to have our share of the more independent life -- some joy in things for their own sake. It is piteous
George Eliot in WOMEN
Slavery it is that makes slavery; freedom, freedom. The slavery of women happened when the men were slaves of kings.

Germaine Greer in WOMEN
Maybe I couldn't make it. Maybe I don't have a pretty smile, good teeth, nice tits, long legs, a cheeky ass, a sexy voice. Maybe I don't know how to handle men and increase my market value, so that the rewards due to the feminine will accrue to me. Then
Germaine Greer in WOMEN
Older women can afford to agree that femininity is a charade, a matter of colored hair, ecru lace and whalebones, the kind of slap and tat that transvestites are in love with, and no more.
Germaine Greer in WOMEN
A Woman is home caring for her children! even if she can't. Trapped in this well-built trap, A Woman blames her mother for luring her into it, while ensuring that her own daughter never gets out; she recoils from the idea of sisterhood and doesn't believ
Ursula K. Le Guin in WOMEN
To me the ''female principle'' is, or at least historically has been, basically anarchic. It values order without constraint, rule by custom not by force. It has been the male who enforces order, who constructs power structures, who makes, enforces, and
Ursula K. Le Guin in WOMEN
We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains.
