“A good man’s work is effected by doing what he does, a woman’s by being what she is.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“The problem for all women is we're identified by how we look, instead of by our heads and hearts.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“she is still better known than most living movie stars, most world leaders, and most television personalities. The surprise is that she rarely has been taken seriously enough to ask why that is so.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“For sad if obvious reasons, women (especially white women who are seduced by access to the powerful) are the only discriminated-against group whose members seem to think that, if they don’t take themselves seriously, someone else will.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Statistically speaking, home is an even more dangerous place for women than the road.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Basically, I feel different from most other women. I feel I don’t have to put on an act. If I’m not feminine enough for someone, I don’t care, because femininity is different in everyone’s mind.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does, and that is his.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“Women treat us [men] like humanity treats gods – they worship us and keep bothering us to do something.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
All women have a perception much more developed than men. So all women somehow, being repressed for so many millennia, they ended up by developing this sixth sense and contemplation and love. And this is something that we have a hard time to accept as part of our society.
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
“a woman should have every honorable motive to exertion which is enjoyed by man, to the full extent of her capacities and endowments. The case is too plain for argument. Nature has given woman the same powers, and subjected her to the same earth, breathes the same air, subsists on the same food, physical, moral, mental and spiritual. She has, therefore, an equal right with man, in all efforts to obtain and maintain a perfect existence.”
Quote by -Frederick Douglass
“I seek truth and beauty in the transparency of an autumn leaf, in the perfect form of a seashell on the beach, in the curve of a woman's back, in the texture of an ancient tree trunk, but also in the elusive forms of reality.”
Quote by -Isabel Allende
“There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. “Well,” she said, “I think I’ll braid my hair today.” So she did and she had a wonderful day. The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror, and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. “Hmmm,” she said, “I think I’ll part my hair down the middle today.” So she did and she had a grand day. The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror, and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. “Well,” she said, “Today I’m going to wear my hair in a ponytail.” So she did, and she had a fun, fun day. The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror, and noticed that there wasn’t a single hair on her head. “YAY!” she exclaimed. “I don’t have to fix my hair today!” This is a woman who understood the power of a good attitude. Her attitude, her confession, and her choice to rest allowed her to see life differently. They allowed her to enjoy her life regardless of the situation she faced. I don’t know what circumstances you face today, but I want you to know that a new beginning awaits you. And God allows you to play a vital role in that new beginning. Your attitude, your confessions, and your choice to rest will greatly affect your life, today and each day moving forward.”
Quote by -Joyce Meyer
As young parents of three girls, living in California during the late Sixties and early Seventies, Meredith and I couldn't help but be aware of the rising level of dialogue, debate, commentary, and proclamations about the place of women in society and about how to raise females in light of this raised consciousness.
Quote by -Tom Brokaw
Our daughters were coming of age during a rising consciousness about gender equality. Throughout their school years - from kindergarten through graduate school, 1972 to 1992 - women were starting to take their places in areas traditionally reserved mostly for men.
Quote by -Tom Brokaw
If you see everything from the point of view of women being victims in some way, you don't see the wood for the trees. It is better to be a person than a woman.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
I've always felt heroic about my life... As a child, I remember little girls in the playground moaning about how boys could do more than they could. I didn't think that was the case at all. My parents didn't treat me as a girl.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
"In the 18th century, if women wanted to travel and they dressed as a man, people would not look twice. Your clothes said everything. Also there were masters and servants swapping clothes. You could be anything, your clothes told everything!"
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
My clothes have always got a very strong dynamic rapport with the body - they are very body conscious, they help you to look glamorous, more hourglass, more woman.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
“If women are expected to do the same work as men, we must teach them the same things.”
Quote by -Plato
Were women to "unsex" themselves by claiming equality with men, they would become the most hateful, heathen, and disgusting of beings and would surely perish without male protection.
Quote by -Queen Victoria
I am every day more convinced that we women, if we are to be good women, feminine and amiable and domestic, are not fitted to reign; at least it is they that drive themselves to the work which it entails.
Quote by -Queen Victoria
I think people really marry far too much; it is such a lottery after all, and for a poor woman a very doubtful happiness.
Quote by -Queen Victoria
“It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballot; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountain top and pointed the way to the Promised Land.
Quote by -Barack Obama
“We still think of a powerful man as a born leader and a powerful woman as an anomaly.”
Quote by -Margaret Atwood
“They wore blouses with buttons down the front that suggested the possibilities of the word undone. These women could be undone; or not. They seemed to be able to choose. ”
Quote by -Margaret Atwood
A woman can become a man's friend only in the following stages - first an acquantaince, next a mistress, and only then a friend.
Quote by -Anton Chekhov
I have no will of my own. Never did. Limp and lily-livered, I always obey - is it possible that's attractive to women?
Quote by -Anton Chekhov
A naive man is nothing better than a fool. But you women contrive to be naive in such a way that in you it seems sweet, and gentle, and proper, and not as silly as it really is.
Quote by -Anton Chekhov
A woman can only become a man’s friend in three stages: first she’s an agreeable acquaintance, then a mistress and only after that a friend.
Quote by -Anton Chekhov
Anna Petrovna: Never talk to women about your own good qualities. Let them find out for themselves.
Quote by -Anton Chekhov
But no man would sacrifice his honor for the one he loves." "It is a thing hundreds of thousands of women have done.
Quote by -Henrik Ibsen
I'm also like a half-drowned woman on a wreck. No one to suffer with; no one to care for.
Quote by -Henrik Ibsen
Torvald: I would gladly work night and day for you, Nora--bear sorrow and want for your sake. But no man would sacrifice his honour for the one he loves. Nora: But hundreds of thousands of women have done!
Quote by -Henrik Ibsen
“One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I’m a woman. That is the way all females should feel.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
“A man is more frank and sincere with his emotions than a woman. We girls, I’m afraid, have a tendency to hide our feelings.”
Quote by -Marilyn Monroe
