The slavery of women happened when the men were slaves of kings.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/41861/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/41861/ <![CDATA[We women are always in danger of living too exclusively in the affections; and though our affections are perhaps the best gifts we have, we ought also to have our share of the more independent life -- some joy in things for their own sake. It is piteous to see the helplessness of some sweet women when their affections are disappointed -- because all their teaching has been, that they can only delight in study of any kind for the sake of a personal love. They have never contemplated an independent delight in ideas as an experience which they could confess without being laughed at. Yet surely women need this defense against passionate affliction even more than men.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/41860/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/41860/ <![CDATA[The woman who can create her own job is the woman who will win fame and fortune.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/41857/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/41857/ <![CDATA[Woman is not born: she is made. In the making, her humanity is destroyed.

They make common cause in behalf of the sex; and, indeed, this is natural enough, when we consider the vast power that the law gives us over them.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/41847/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/41847/ <![CDATA[It is not women's fault if we are so tender. It is in the nature of the lives we live. And further, it would be a terrible catastrophe if men had to live men's lives and women's also. Which is precisely what has happened today -- to women.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/41881/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/41881/ <![CDATA[Like their personal lives, women's history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/41882/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/41882/ <![CDATA[The chief thing about a woman -- who is much of a woman -- is that in the long run she is not to be had... She is not to be caught by any of the catch-words, love, beauty, honor, duty, worth, work, salvation -- none of them -- not in the long run. In the long run she only says Am I satisfied, or is there some beastly dissatisfaction gnawing and gnawing inside me. And if there is some dissatisfaction, it is physical, at least as much as psychic, sex as much as soul.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/41891/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/41891/ <![CDATA[Woman is the dominant sex.

One man's lady is another man's woman; sometimes, one man's lady is another man's wife. Definitions overlap but they almost never coincide.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/41897/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/41897/ <![CDATA[Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don't are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn't put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/41893/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/41893/ <![CDATA[Being a woman is of special interest only to aspiring male transsexuals.

Emphasis on the male work-rhythm is an emphasis on infinite possibilities; emphasis on the female rhythms is an emphasis on a defined pattern, on limitation.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/26242/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/26242/ <![CDATA[A lady is smarter than a gentleman, maybe, she can sew a fine seam, she can have a baby, she can use her intuition instead of her brain, but she can't fold a paper in a crowded train.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/26241/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/26241/ <![CDATA[To be womanly is one thing, and one only; it is to be sensitive to man, to be highly endowed with the sex instinct; to be manly is to be sensitive to woman.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/26222/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/26222/ <![CDATA[A woman who takes things from a man is called a girlfriend, a man who takes things from a woman is called a gigolo.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/26276/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/26276/ <![CDATA[A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/26277/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/26277/ <![CDATA[The cocks may crow, but it's the hen that lays the egg.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/26284/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/26284/ <![CDATA[A woman cannot do the thing she ought, which means whatever perfect thing she can, in life, in art, in science, but she fears to let the perfect action take her part and rest there: she must prove what she can do before she does it, -- prate of woman's rights, of woman's mission, woman's function, till the men (who are prating, too, on their side) cry, A woman's function plainly is... to talk.
