Quote by -Paulo Coelho
I just like to have words that describe things correctly. Now to me, 'black feminist' does not do that. I need a word that is organic, that really comes out of the culture, that really expresses the spirit that we see in black women. And it's just... womanish.
Quote by -Alice Walker
“I myself cried when I got angry, then became unable to explain why I was angry in the first place. Later I would discover this was endemic among female human beings. Anger is supposed to be "unfeminine", so we suppress it-until it overflows.”

Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Perhaps that's the first Survival Lesson we need to remember if we are to keep going: serious opposition is a measure of success. Women have been trained to measure our effectiveness in love and approval, not in conflict and resistance.”

Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“As feminism has changed academia by enlarging what is taught, academia has sometimes changed feminism.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Or perhaps it's "activist," but on environmental and economic problems, without understanding that pressuring women to have too many children is the biggest cause of environmental distress, and economic courses should start with reproduction, not just production.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Being graded for memorizing male accomplishments with the deep message that we can learn what others do but never do it ourselves.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“My father did not have to trade dying alone for the joys of the road. My mother did not have to give up a journey of her own to have a home. Neither do I. Neither do you.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Women are always better liked if we sacrifice ourselves for something bigger - and something bigger always means including men, even though something bigger for men doesn't usually mean including women.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Don't write when you're angry and under deadline, with time to test it only on friends who know what you mean, not on strangers who don't.”
