The
emancipation of today displays itself mainly in cigarettes
and shorts. There is even a reaction from the ideal of an
intellectual and emancipated womanhood, for which the
pioneers toiled and suffered, to be seen in painted lips and
nails, and the return of trailing skirts and other
absurdities of dress which betoken the slave-woman's
intelligent companionship.
-- Sylvia Pankhurst
I wanted to be
the first woman to burn her bra, but it would have taken the
fire department four days to put it out.
-- Dolly Parton
1946-, American Musician,
Country singer, Actress, Songwriter
Men now
monopolize the upper levels… depriving women of their
rightful share of opportunities for incompetence.
-- Laurence J. Peter
There must be
a world revolution which puts an end to all materialistic
conditions hindering woman from performing her natural role
in life and driving her to carry out man's duties in order
to be equal in rights.
-- Colonel Muhammar Qaddafi
1942-, Libyan Political and
Military Leader
