"The only way for a woman, as for a man, to find herself, to know herself as a person, is by creative work of her own."
Quote by -Betty Friedan
"The problem lay buried, unspoken, for many years in the minds of American women. It was a strange stirring, a sense of dissatisfaction, a yearning [that is, a longing] that women suffered in the middle of the 20th century in the United States. Each suburban [house]wife struggled with it alone. As she made the beds, shopped for groceries ... she was afraid to ask even of herself the silent question - 'Is this all?"
Quote by -Betty Friedan
"Life lived only for oneself does not truly satisfy men or women. There is a hunger in Americans today for larger purposes beyond the self. That is the reason for the religious revival and the new resonance of 'family."
Quote by -Betty Friedan
"It is perhaps beside the point to remark that bowling alleys and supermarkets have nursery facilities, while schools and colleges and scientific laboratories and government offices do not."
Quote by -Betty Friedan
"The feminists had destroyed the old image of woman, but they could not erase the hostility, the prejudice, the discrimination that still remained."
Quote by -Betty Friedan
"Man is not the enemy here, but the fellow victim. The real enemy is women's denigration of themselves."
Quote by -Betty Friedan
"Who knows what women can be when they are finally free to become themselves? Who knows what women's intelligence will contribute when it can be nourished without denying love?"
Quote by -Betty Friedan
"The feminist revolution had to be fought because women quite simply were stopped at a state of evolution far short of their human capacity."
Quote by -Betty Friedan
"It is wrong to keep spelling out unnecessary choices that make women unconsciously resist either commitment or motherhood--and that hold back recognition of the needed social changes."
Quote by -Betty Friedan
"Men weren't really the enemy - they were fellow victims suffering from an outmoded masculine mystique that made them feel unnecessarily inadequate when there were no bears to kill."
Quote by -Betty Friedan
"The insult, the real reflection on our culture's definition of the role of women, is that as a nation we only noticed something was wrong with women when we saw its effects on their sons."
Quote by -Betty Friedan
"If you have one good series, you know, it's a blessing. Two good series is unusual. Three is a phenomenon, but right now, I'm working with these wonderful women on 'Hot in Cleveland,' and Valerie Bertinelli, and Wendy Malick and Jane Leeves are like, it's like the buddy-ship we had on 'Golden Girls' and 'Mary Tyler Moore.'"
Quote by -Betty White
"I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let's face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what's sexy. And men define what's feminine. It's ridiculous."
Quote by -Beyonce Knowles
"Women cannot complain about men anymore until they start getting better taste in them."
Quote by -Bill Maher
"One can find women who have never had one love affair, but it is rare indeed to find any who have had only one."
Quote by -François de La Rochefoucauld
"Women's virtue is frequently nothing but a regard to their own quiet and a tenderness for their reputation."
Quote by -François de La Rochefoucauld
"You can find women who have never had an affair, but it is hard to find a woman who has had just one."
Quote by -François de La Rochefoucauld
"Woman and men of retiring timidity are cowardly only in dangers which affect themselves, but the first to rescue when others are in danger."
Quote by -Jean Richter
"You accuse a woman of wavering affections, but don't blame her; she is just looking for a consistent man."
Quote by -Johann Von Goethe
"It is a mistake for a taciturn, serious-minded woman to marry a jovial man, but not for a serious-minded man to marry a lighthearted woman."
Quote by -Johann Von Goethe
"Just like in Scent of a Woman , you know, when the guy is up there and Al Pacino gives the speech to the headmaster -- give him a chance."
Quote by -Nick Saban
"'Tis strange what a man may do, and a woman yet think him an angel."
Quote by -William M. Thackeray
"Then sing as Martin Luther sang:"Who loves not wine, woman, and song,He is a fool his whole life long!"
Quote by -William M. Thackeray
"Now, if there was one woman in the world who didn't need publicity, who always had too much publicity, it was me."
Quote by -Brigitte Bardot
"I probably went all the way to junior high school before a school doctor told me that I was 'dyslexic.'"
Quote by -Caitlyn Jenner
"Using the word 'bossy' for girls can be quite harmful. What is that saying - that being focused, being assertive, being the boss has a negative attribute? And I have heard that term associated more with women than with men. 'He's so bossy' - you don't hear that. It's a very subtle thing."
Quote by -Bryce Dallas
"Sometimes people are like, 'Do you want to play strong women?' I don't have to play strong women in order to feel like a strong woman myself, but I do feel it's important to play characters that are complex and interesting and believable."
Quote by -Bryce Dallas
"When I was coming of age, I remembered reading and studying the initial ideas within the feminist movement. There was this idea with my parents' generation that in order to find equality, a woman would need to behave like a man."
Quote by -Bryce Dallas
"A fact of modern life is that it takes women longer to get ready than men."
Quote by -Jessica Savitch
"Women have served all these centuries as looking glasses possessing the magic and delicious power of reflecting the figure of man, at twice its natural size"
Quote by -Virginia Woolf
"Young women... you are, in my opinion, disgracefully ignorant. You have never made a discovery of any sort of importance. You have never shaken an empire or led an army into battle. The plays by Shakespeare are not by you, and you have never introduced a barbarous race to the blessings of civilization. What is your excuse?"
Quote by -Virginia Woolf
