Text Quotes
My hopes for Iran’s future lies with women first and foremost. Iran’s feminist movement is very strong. This movement has no leader or head quarters. Its place is the home of every Iranian who believes in equal rights. This is currently the strongest women’s movement in the Middle East  (Women's Movement Quotes) Yes, it is hard out there. But hard is relative. I come from a middle-class family, my parents are academics. I was born after the Civil Rights movement, I was a toddler during the women’s movement, I live in the United States of America, all of which means I am allowed to own my freedom, my rights, my voice and my uterus  (Women's Movement Quotes) Fault lines run along color lines in American public life, and the women’s movement is no exception. Over the years, feminism has become more inclusive but there is still hard work to be done to include LGBT women and communities of color  (Women's Movement Quotes) In the women’s movement, women needed men to stand up and say, ‘This isn’t right.’ In the civil rights of the 60s, it took people of all color to demand equal rights  (Women's Movement Quotes) The women’s movement is a non-hierarchical one. It does things collectively and experimentally  (Women's Movement Quotes) Movements are not radical. Movements are the American way. A small group of abolitionists writing and speaking eventually led to the end of slavery. A few stirred-up women brought about women’s voting. The Populist movement, the Progressive movement, the anti-Vietnam War movement, the women’s movement - the examples go on and on of ‘little people’ getting together and telling the truth about their lives. They made our government act  (Women's Movement Quotes) So many of the conscious and unconscious ways men and women treat each other have to do with romantic and sexual fantasies that are deeply ingrained, not just in society but in literature. The women’s movement may manage to clean up the mess in society, but I don’t know whether it can ever clean up the mess in our minds  (Women's Movement Quotes) Women must see that there can be no liberation for them and no solution to the ecological crisis within a society whose fundamental model of relationships continues to be one of domination. They must unite the demands of the women’s movement with those of the ecological movement to envision a radical reshaping of the basic socioeconomic relations and the underlying values of this [modern industrial] society  (Women's Movement Quotes) Most of us don’t have mothers who blazed a trail for us--at least, not all the way. Coming of age before or during the inception of the women’s movement, whether as working parents or homemakers, whether married or divorced, our mothers faced conundrums--what should they be? how should they act?--that became our uncertainties  (Women's Movement Quotes) There would be no need for the women’s movement if the church and Bible hadn’t abused them  (Women's Movement Quotes) I was a woman writing at the early moment when small drops of worried resentment and noble rage were secretly, slowly building into the second wave of the women’s movement. I didn’t know my small-drop presence or usefulness in this accumulation  (Women's Movement Quotes) I don’t know if this is a true statistic, but I heard somewhere that there are three times as many single women over forty as single men. That’s what we got from the women’s movement. The chickens have come home to roost  (Women's Movement Quotes) Let’s start a movement - a movement of men who aren’t afraid to stop violence against women.  (Women's Movement Quotes) If divorce has increased by one thousand percent, don’t blame the women’s movement. Blame the obsolete sex roles on which our marriages were based.  (Women's Movement Quotes) I’ve been there for so many crossroads in American history. My whole political life spans the birth of the environmental movement, the women’s movement, the civil rights movement, putting an end to unjust wars, and so and so.  (Women's Movement Quotes) Twenty years later, twenty years after I joined the women’s movement, we’re still talking about the same issues. We’re still talking about reproductive rights for women, and we’re still talking about getting equal pay for women. And that’s just frustrating.  (Women's Movement Quotes) The feminist movement is often clouded with Gloria Steinem’s perspective, but I feel like denying women their sexuality is just as chauvinistic.  (Women's Movement Quotes) The 60s are my favorite decade - with the Cold War, the women’s movement. And then there’s the music, the fashion, the clothes, the hair  (Women's Movement Quotes) Young feminists have been sold a bill of goods about American feminism. The enormous changes in women over the past 40 years are constantly and falsely attributed to the organized women’s movement of the late 1960s and 70s  (Women's Movement Quotes) I... was not too happy to suddenly take on this public role thrust upon me. They just assumed I was the Joan of Arc of the women’s movement. And I wasn’t at all. It put a lot of unnecessary pressure on me  (Women's Movement Quotes) Without Police Woman I wouldn’t have had a career. The show started about the same time the women’s movement was taking off. Ours was the first prime-time one-hour show featuring a strong, professional woman. It paved the way for other series to follow  (Women's Movement Quotes) What practical conclusions may we now draw for our propaganda work among women? The task of this Party Congress must not be to issue detailed practical suggestions, but to draw up general directions for the proletarian women’s movement  (Women's Movement Quotes) The plight of the actor, even if he’s a star, is the plight of the women’s movement. They’re saying the same thing to us: get into bed, give me a good time, then give me something to eat, go get the laundry, be a good girl  (Women's Movement Quotes) Sarah Palin is an heir to the women’s movement. She has not been constrained by gender. At no point in her life has she thought, ‘I can’t do that because I’m a woman.’  (Women's Movement Quotes) When the women’s movement began, it was a middle-class phenomenon. Certainly, black women had other stuff to think about in the 60s besides a women’s movement. Working-class women were slow to get into it  (Women's Movement Quotes) I feel very strongly that the Democratic Party has, in the past, been the party of the future. I think when you look at Social Security and Medicare, when you look at the civil rights movement, the women’s movement, I think the Democratic Party has always been in the forefront of change  (Women's Movement Quotes) The women’s movement burst forth when I was fifteen. That was when I began to believe that life might semi-work out after all. The cavalry had arrived. Women were starting to say that you got to tell the truth now, that you had to tell the truth if you were going to heal and have an authentic life  (Women's Movement Quotes) I am a feminist because I feel endangered, psychically and physically, by this society and because I believe that the women’s movement is saying that we have come to an edge of history when men - insofar as they are embodiments of the patriarchal idea - have become dangerous to children and other living things, themselves included  (Women's Movement Quotes) I think I would have died if there hadn't been the women's movement  (Women's Movement Quotes) The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency  (Women's Movement Quotes)
