Therefore I would ask you to write all kinds of books, hesitating at no subject however trivial or however vast.

The worst of Bath was the number of its plain women. He did not mean to say there were not pretty women, but the number of the plain was out of all proportion. He had frequently observed, as he walked, that one handsome face would be followed by thirty, or five-and-thirty frights; and once, as he had stood in a shop on Bond street, he had counted eighty-seven women go by, without there being a tolerable face among them. ... But still, there certainly were a dreadful multitude of ugly women in Bath; and as for the men! they were infinitely worse. Such scarecrows as the streets were full of!
Jane Austen

I don't mind a dirty girl. But what I find tragic is when we, as women, become not the subject of our own story but someone else's object.
Tori Amos
What is this thing between women, like men are a joke that women all told each other long ago but men never get it.
Orson Scott Card
If we mean to have heroes, statesmen and philosophers, we should have learned women.

I've exercised with women so thin that buzzards followed them to their cars.
