Women have burnt like beacons in all the works of all the poets from the beginning of time
Virginia Woolf
Ageism works in both directions. As a teenager in the public eye, people would talk condescendingly to me. When you get older there's this feeling that you have to start carving up your face and body. Right now I'm in the middle ground - I think women in their thirties are taken seriously.
Alanis Morissette
There is no solid satisfaction in any career for a woman like myself. There is no home, no true freedom, no hope, no joy, no expectation for tomorrow, no contentment. I would rather cook a meal for a man and bring him his slippers and feel myself in the protection of his arms than have all the citations and awards and honors I have received worldwide, including the Ribbon of Legion of Honor and my property and my bank accounts. They mean nothing to me. And I am only one among the millions of sad women like myself.
Taylor Caldwell, Ask Them Yourse
Ah, I fancy it is just the same with most of what you call your emancipation. You have read yourself into a number of new ideas and opinions. You have got a sort of smattering of recent discoveries in various fields -- discoveries that seem to overthrow certain principles which have hitherto been held impregnable and unassailable. But all this has only been a matter of intellect, Miss West -- superficial acquisition. It has not passed into your blood.
Henrik Ibsen
Men and women are not born inconstant: they are made so by their early amorous experiences.
Andre Maurois
It's very hard for a woman in comedy. It's hard for women to be bold and not care what anyone, particularly men, think. Maybe that is why so many women comics are lesbians.
Margaret Cho
People call me feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute.
Rebecca West
I think I am really irreverent and I pretty much just talk to and about men the way men talk to and about women.
Kesha
No one wants to see curvy women.
Karl Lagerfeld
Feminism is doomed to failure because it is based on an attempt to repeal and restructure human nature.
Phyllis Schlafly
Recognizing the equality of all men and women, we are willing and able to lift the weak, cradle those who hurt, and nurture the bonds that tie us together as one nation under God.
Ronald Reagan
I love women more than anything.
Vin Diesel
These impossible women! How they do get around us! The poet was right: Can't live with them, or without them.
Aristophanes
I seem to be getting a lot of things pushed my way that are strong women. It's like people see Hackers and they send me offers to play tough women with guns, the kind who wear no bra and a little tank top. I'd like to play strong women who are also very feminine.
Angelina Jolie
Women are nothing but machines for producing children.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The works of women are symbolical. We sew, sew, prick our fingers, dull our sight,Producing what? A pair of slippers, sir,To put on when you
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Auro
Men now monopolize the upper levels depriving women of their rightful share of opportunities for incompetence.
Laurence J. Peter
I think women are excellent social critics.
Laurie Anderson
People identify with me - everyone does - African American women, Caucasian women, they all identify with me because I'm ethnic.
Janice Dickinson
It's incredibly unfair. You don't see a lot of 60-year-old women with 20-year-old men onscreen.
George Clooney
