The
emancipation of women is practically the greatest egoistic
movement of the nineteenth century, and the most intense
affirmation of the right of the self that history has yet
seen.
-- Ellen Key
1849-1926, Swedish Author,
Feminist
Women who seek
to be equal with men lack ambition.
-- Timothy Leary
1921-1996, American Actor
Feminism was
recognized by the average man as a conflict in which it was
impossible for a man, as a chivalrous gentleman, as a
respecter of the rights of little nations (like little
Belgium), as a highly evolved citizen of a highly civilized
community, to refuse the claim of this better half to
self-determination.
-- Wyndham Lewis
1882-1957, British Author,
Painter
As a result of
the feminist revolution, ''feminine'' becomes an abusive
epithet.
-- Wyndham Lewis
1882-1957, British Author,
Painter

The people I'm
furious with are the Women's Liberationists. They keep
getting up on soapboxes and proclaiming women are brighter
than men. That's true, but it should be kept quiet or it
ruins the whole racket.
-- Anita Loos
1893-1981, American Novelist,
Screenwriter
Male supremacy
has kept woman down. It has not knocked her out.
-- Clare Boothe Luce
1903-1987, American Diplomat,
Writer
The suffering
of either sex -- of the male who is unable, because of the
way in which he was reared, to take the strong initiating or
patriarchal role that is still demanded of him, or of the
female who has been given too much freedom of movement as a
child to stay placidly within the house as an adult -- this
suffering, this discrepancy, this sense of failure in an
enjoined role, is the point of leverage for social change.
-- Margaret Mead
1901-1978, American
Anthropologist
Women's
Liberation is just a lot of foolishness. It's the men who
are discriminated against. They can't bear children. And no
one's likely to do anything about that.
-- Golda Meir
1898-1978, Prime Minister of
Israel, 1969-74
