Too much of our lives corresponds to the ‘lost-wallet’ theory of life. You lose something, spend a long time finding it, and then feel grateful to be back where you started Picture Quote #1

Controlling women as the means of reproduction is made even more necessary by any race or caste or class system. It just comes together, it’s just like life. And therefore it’s not even practical to be a feminist without being anti-racist or against classism. It just doesn’t work Picture Quote #1

I was rescued by librarians. It was librarians who said ‘maybe you would like to read The Hardy Boys as well as Nancy Drew.’ It is true for me, as for so many countless others, that librarians saved my life, my internal life Picture Quote #1

Being misunderstood by people whose opinions you value is absolutely the most painful Picture Quote #1

Whatever each individual woman is facing - only she knows her biggest challenge Picture Quote #1

I’m not saying that women leaders would eliminate violence. We are not more moral than men; we are only uncorrupted by power so far. When we do acquire power, we might turn out to have an equal impulse toward aggression Picture Quote #1

Women are not going to be equal outside the home until men are equal in it Picture Quote #1

There are really not many jobs that actually require a penis or a vagina, and all other occupations should be open to everyone Picture Quote #1

The family is the basic cell of government: it is where we are trained to believe that we are human beings or that we are chattel, it is where we are trained to see the sex and race divisions and become callous to injustice even if it is done to ourselves, to accept as biological a full system of authoritarian government Picture Quote #1

Pornography is the instruction. Rape is the practice, battered women are the practice, and battered children are the practice Picture Quote #1

I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career Picture Quote #1

Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself Picture Quote #1

Someone once asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do, and I gave the common-sensical reply that we don't have as much money. That was a true but incomplete answer. In fact, women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage Picture Quote #1

Women fear endangering men's approval so much, we don't even wait for them to say no. Or else we protect them, even if it means saying no to ourselves Picture Quote #1

We need to unlearn some of our respect for education, since it has undermined our respect for ourselves Picture Quote #1

Battered women is a phrase that uncovered major, long-hidden violence. It helps us to face the fact that, statistically speaking, the most dangerous place for a woman is in her own home, not in the streets Picture Quote #1
