You all know that even when women have full rights, they still remain fatally downtrodden because all housework is left to them. In most cases housework is the most unproductive, the most barbarous and the most arduous work a woman can do. It is exceptionally petty and does not include anything that would in any way promote the development of the woman. ~ Vladimir Lenin
Women Rights quotes by Vladimir Lenin
Women will not simply be mainstreamed into the polluted stream. Women are changing the stream, making it clean and green and safe for all - every gender, race, creed, sexual orientation, age, and ability. ~ Bella Abzug
Women Rights quotes by Bella Abzug
The earth had two children
A son named Adam
and a daughter ~ Karan Patade
Women Rights quotes by Karan Patade
Woman is the highest, holiest, most precious gift to man. Her mission and throne is the family, and if anything is withheld that would make her more efficient, useful, or happy in that sphere, she is wronged, and has not her rights. ~ John Todd
Women Rights quotes by John Todd
She felt the phrase "demand her rights" had lain inside her forever, waiting. ~ Clarice Lispector
Women Rights quotes by Clarice Lispector
I am working for the time when unqualified blacks, browns and women join the unqualified men in running our government. ~ Frances Farenthold
Women Rights quotes by Frances Farenthold
Human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights. ~ Hillary Clinton
Women Rights quotes by Hillary Clinton
I have never been ashamed of calling myself a feminist, and I believe passionately in women's rights. ~ Cherie Blair
Women Rights quotes by Cherie Blair
Those who treat the muslim woman not as an individual but as a symbol either of Islamic chastity or secular liberalism are guilty of the same sin : the objectification of women ~ Reza Aslan
Women Rights quotes by Reza Aslan
Men are suppressing woman politically, philosophically, socially, through denying them education, equal rights, equal employment, and just by setting up a description of the world in which a woman views herself as a vessel, as someone who's only there to have children, as someone who can't succeed, even spiritually. ~ Frederick Lenz
Women Rights quotes by Frederick Lenz
In the near future the images in history will differ and the faces who changed the world would no longer be reserved for the masculine. We always knew history to be a story told by him but the future will have one that is written by her as well. ~ Aysha Taryam
Women Rights quotes by Aysha Taryam
I work for the Global Fund for Women, an organization that is actively supporting women's rights groups in 160 countries around the world. ~ Kavita Ramdas
Women Rights quotes by Kavita Ramdas
It is only with the setting of the sun that one can judge how well the day had gone. Looking back through the vista of time, I can analyse and assess why I fought hard for my right to say no to joining the Baath Party, why I took that first step towards requesting respect for human rights. But it is important to stress this: Up against a task larger than oneself, one has to overcome one's fear. ~ Widad Akreyi
Women Rights quotes by Widad Akreyi
Trust me that as I ignore all law to help the slave, so will I ignore it all to protect an enslaved woman. ~ Susan B. Anthony
Women Rights quotes by Susan B. Anthony
When I see the elaborate study and ingenuity displayed by women in the pursuit of trifles, I feel no doubt of their capacity for the most herculean undertakings. ~ Julia Ward Howe
Women Rights quotes by Julia Ward Howe
Not all men practice violence against women but all women live with the threat of male violence every single day. All over the Earth. ~ Fuad Alakbarov
Women Rights quotes by Fuad Alakbarov
I want women to feel like we are not in competition with each other. We are on
the same team. Something as small as a compliment to let another woman know she is on the right path or she is doing a great job can make all the difference. We can defend each other when we are being attacked or judged. We can hire other women and refer each other for jobs when the opportunity fits ~ Scarlett Curtis
Women Rights quotes by Scarlett Curtis
She wants to be treated as an equal, not like a goddess or a statue. ~ Auliq Ice
Women Rights quotes by Auliq Ice
The recognition of rights for women and minorities became a large part of my understanding of what this country is all about. ~ Faye Wattleton
Women Rights quotes by Faye Wattleton
The Quran gave women rights of inheritance and divorce centuries before Western women were accorded such status. The ~ Karen Armstrong
Women Rights quotes by Karen Armstrong
The women of this nation in 1876, have greater cause for discontent, rebellion and revolution than the men of 1776. ~ Susan B. Anthony
Women Rights quotes by Susan B. Anthony
My spirit is willing to do what is right; and my flesh, I hope, is strong enough to accomplish the will of Heaven ~ Charlotte Bronte
Women Rights quotes by Charlotte Bronte
While notable advances in certain parts of the world in woman's rights have occured in the last hundred years, the centuries of conditioning and the mentality that views women as inferior still prevade our world today. ~ Frederick Lenz
Women Rights quotes by Frederick Lenz
Do you deny the Scriptures, madame? For is it not said that a woman should be silent and have no authority over man?'
'Of course I do not deny the Scriptures, Your Majesty.'
'Yet you are on of these 'réformés,' are you not?'
She met the King's gaze. 'I am, Your Majesty. But we do not deny the Scriptures. We believe they contain all that is necessary for the service of God and our own salvation.'
He frowned. 'Yet you argue against the one true Church, is that not so?'
She picked her words with care. 'The one true Church is made up of those faithful who agree to follow the word of God. ~ Kate Forsyth
Women Rights quotes by Kate Forsyth
She had talked of this at length with Kadambari - Mrs. Dutt: Why should it not be possible for these freedoms to be universally available for women everywhere? And Mrs. Dutt had said that of course, this was one of the great benefits of British rule in India; that it had given women rights and protections that they'd never had before. At this, Uma had felt herself, for the first time, falling utterly out of sympathy with her new friend. She had known instinctively that this was a false argument, unfounded and illogical. How was it possible to imagine that one could grant freedom by imposing subjugation? that one could open a cage by pushing it inside a bigger cage? How could any section of a people hope to achieve freedom where the entirety of a populace was held in subjection? ~ Amitav Ghosh
Women Rights quotes by Amitav Ghosh
As to women, the Islamic faith has given women rights that are equal to or more than the rights given them in the Old Testament and the Bible. ~ Abdullah Of Saudi Arabia
Women Rights quotes by Abdullah Of Saudi Arabia
I demanded more rights for women because I know what women had to put up with. ~ Evita Peron
Women Rights quotes by Evita Peron
In love; it's only those who trust each other, who can make it until the end. ~ Auliq Ice
Women Rights quotes by Auliq Ice
Women can be beautiful and smart. They just choose to play down their intelligence so they can survive and get along with others during the times in history when women didn't have equal rights, couldn't speak out, and were considered property. - Strong by Kailin Gow ~ Kailin Gow
Women Rights quotes by Kailin Gow
The dogma of woman's complete historical subjection to men must be rated as one of the most fantastic myths ever created by the human mind. ~ Mary Ritter Beard
Women Rights quotes by Mary Ritter Beard
..the guests milled back and forth: men stood with their heads together, discussing politics and crops, their stiff white shirts puffed and ruffled, their voices rising and falling in steadfast opinions as women of fair whispered to one another and laughed behind silk fans, occasionally calling out gaily to pull another into their ring of white shoulder flounced with satin as house niggers dipped and weaved all around them bearing trays of syllabub and sack, almost invisible as the shadows they cast ~ Pamela Jekel
Women Rights quotes by Pamela Jekel
In the classroom, it was almost certainly the case that the women were managing a double bind that we face constantly: conform to traditional gender expectations, stay quiet and be liked, or violate those expectations and risk the penalties, including the penalty of being called puritanical, aggressive, and"humorless. ~ Soraya Chemaly
Women Rights quotes by Soraya Chemaly
People often say that women forget what childbirth is like, because if they remembered, no one would ever do it more than once. Personally, I had no trouble at all remembering. The sense of massive inertia, particularly. That endless time toward the end, when it seems that it never will end, that one is mired in some prehistoric tar pit, every small move a struggle doomed to futility. Every square centimeter of skin stretched as thin as one's temper. You don't forget. You simply get to the point where you don't care what birth will feel like; anything is better than being pregnant for an instant longer. ~ Diana Gabaldon
Women Rights quotes by Diana Gabaldon
A 2001 survey of business owners with MBAs conducted by the Rochester Institute of Technology found that money was the primary motivator for only 29% of women, versus 76% of men. Women prioritized flexibility, fulfillment, autonomy and safety. ~ Warren Farrell
Women Rights quotes by Warren Farrell
Manliness has been defined as assertion of the self. Womanliness has been defined as the nurturing of selves other than our own - even if we quite lose our own in the process. (Women are supposed to find in this loss their true fulfillment.) But every individual person is born both to assert herself or himself and to act out a sympathy for others trying to find themselves - in Christian terms, meant to love one's self as one loves others ... Jesus never taught that we should split up that commandment - assigning 'love yourself' to men, 'love others' to women. But society has tried to. ~ Barbara Deming
Women Rights quotes by Barbara Deming
We start 'The Butler' in June and that's incredibly exciting for me because I get to work with the amazing Forest Whitaker again. It's a phenomenal script and a great, great role - I play his son. Oprah Winfrey is his wife and my mother. My character is a radical civil rights activist. ~ David Oyelowo
Women Rights quotes by David Oyelowo
Where I'm at in life, the women have got to come with something else, not just the body, but the mind and spirit. It usually trips them out, but that's the way it's going to be. I'm looking at the big picture. ~ Lenny Kravitz
Women Rights quotes by Lenny Kravitz
Some women pray for their daughters to marry good husbands. I pray that my girls will find girlfriends half as loyal and true as the Ya-Yas. ~ Rebecca Wells
Women Rights quotes by Rebecca Wells
In Latin America, women are supposed to be voluptuous. They don't believe that you have to be skinny to be attractive. ~ Sofia Vergara
Women Rights quotes by Sofia Vergara
When women suffer, marriages suffer.
When marriages suffer, children suffer.
When children suffer, families suffer.
When families suffer, communities suffer.
When communities suffer, societies suffer.
When societies suffer, nations suffer.
When nations suffer, the world suffers.
When the world suffers, God suffers. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Women Rights quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
Or there were the poets and thinkers. Suppose he had had that passion, and had gone to Sir William Bradshaw, a great doctor yet to her extremely evil, without sex or lust, extremely polite to women, but capable of some indescribable outrage - forcing your soul, that was it - if this young man had gone to him, and Sir William impressed him, like that, with his power, might he not then have said (indeed she felt it now), Life is made intolerable; they make life intolerable, men like that? ~ Virginia Woolf
Women Rights quotes by Virginia Woolf
We were emerging from the period of war, of uniforms, of women-soldiers built like boxers. I drew women-flowers, soft shoulders, fine waists like liana and wide skirts like corolla. ~ Christian Dior
Women Rights quotes by Christian Dior
See all women as mothers, serve them as your mother. When you see the entire world as the mother, the ego falls away. ~ Neem Karoli Baba
Women Rights quotes by Neem Karoli Baba
But on Thursday only the committed regulars are there, and they do what they do on Thursday, delving into pagan rituals of worship to the amber gods that let you see to the lurching anger that spins you round and round at the center of things beyond lines and angles and the very floorboards become crazy under your feet so that the floor goes YAAAWW up again down again and suddenly tunk! it hits you on the forehead and your nose bleeds and you cling to it so that you don't begin to slip down it and fetch up against the wall where you were dancing before with all the women in your life who have now vanished and left you alone here and the swaying candelabra are like careening galaxies burning into the back of your head; you don't dare to roll over on your back and look straight into all those stars or you will be blinded; and from the cool floor and the smell of your own puke you gain more and more understanding of the universe. ~ William T. Vollmann
Women Rights quotes by William T. Vollmann
Until every good man is brave, we must expect to find many good women timid
too timid even to believe in the correctness of their own best promptings, when these would place them in a minority. ~ George Eliot
Women Rights quotes by George Eliot
People will never get in touch with democracy. It's always surrounded by bodyguards. ~ Ljupka Cvetanova
Women Rights quotes by Ljupka Cvetanova
[Pope] Clement waved his hands in irritation as if to dismiss the very idea. The world is crumbling into ruin. Armies are marching. Men and women are dying everywhere, in huge numbers. Fields are abandoned and towns deserted. The wrath of the Lord is upon us and He may be intending to destroy the whole of creation. People are without leaders and direction. They want to be given a reason for this, so they can be reassured, so they will return to their prayers and their obiediences. All this is going on, and you are concerned about the safety of two Jews? ~ Iain Pears
Women Rights quotes by Iain Pears
Christopher..." Her voice was trembling. "I wish..."
"Yes?"
It was so terribly selfish, and yet she couldn't help from blurting out, "I wish there had been no other women before me."
He looked down at her in a way that made her feel as if she were dissolving in honey. His mouth descended, caressing hers with tender, urgent warmth. "My heart belongs only to you," he whispered. "It was never lovemaking before. This is a first for me, too."
She puzzled over that, staring into his bright, lambent eyes. "Then it's different, when one is in love?"
"Beatrix, dearest love, it's beyond anything I've ever known. Beyond dreams. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Women Rights quotes by Lisa Kleypas
He was interested in the sudden friendship between two women so apparently dissimilar as Miss Bartlett and Miss Lavish. They were always in each other's company, with Lucy a slighted third. Miss Lavish he believed he understood, but Miss Bartlett might reveal unknown depths of strangeness, though not, perhaps, of meaning. ~ E. M. Forster
Women Rights quotes by E. M. Forster
Being a woman did not look enviable to me, even when it looked admirable. It looked like nonstop sacrifice and service. Because it was. Being a woman seemed vulnerable and sad. Even the strong women I knew - and they were all strong - had earned their strength through enduring huge disappointments and tremendous struggles. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Women Rights quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
In a composite nation like ours, as before the law, there should be no rich, no poor, no high, no low, no white, no black, but common country, common citizenship, equal rights and a common destiny. ~ Frederick Douglass
Women Rights quotes by Frederick Douglass
The humanity of all Americans is diminished when any group is denied rights granted to others. ~ Julian Bond
Women Rights quotes by Julian Bond
If I get back to Earth, I'll be famous, right? A fearless astronaut who beat all the odds, right? I bet women like that. More motivation to stay alive. ~ Andy Weir
Women Rights quotes by Andy Weir
It is the free spirited men and women that we most admire and often envy - those individuals who dare to be themselves. ~ Kevyn Aucoin
Women Rights quotes by Kevyn Aucoin
Every woman dreams of love. When she is young she prays she will find it. When she is middle aged she hopes for it and when she is old she remembers it. ~ Barbara Cartland
Women Rights quotes by Barbara Cartland
After my second marriage failed ... I said, 'You know, could I have a relationship with a man? A loving relationship with a man that would involve intimacy?' For a while, before I did get into a relationship, I saw, for a few years, either women or men. And I found that I could be attracted to both. ~ Clive Davis
Women Rights quotes by Clive Davis
The economic sense of possibility was so great when I was growing up that my parents had no question that I could do anything I wanted to do, even as a girl. I've always believed that the economics of a story intersects with the women's story - that stuff often happens at the time it happens because of the economy. ~ Gail Collins
Women Rights quotes by Gail Collins
I have a huge impact with young girls. Young women. That's my demographic. ~ Chelsea Handler
Women Rights quotes by Chelsea Handler
Americans like what is easy, and it's easy to like pregnant women - they're like ducklings or bunnies or dogs. Still, it baffles me that these self-righteous, self-enthralled waddlers get such special treatment. As if it's so hard to spread your legs and let a man ejaculate between them. ~ Gillian Flynn
Women Rights quotes by Gillian Flynn
America is a Nation with a mission - and that mission comes from our most basic beliefs. We have no desire to dominate, no ambitions of empire. Our aim is a democratic peace - a peace founded upon the dignity and rights of every man and woman. ~ George W. Bush
Women Rights quotes by George W. Bush
Wishes are born in the will of men and women, and it is the true and pure source of power all humans hold. ~ Jessica Khoury
Women Rights quotes by Jessica Khoury
It is a strange feeling for a girl when first she finds the power put into her hand of influencing the destiny of another to happiness or misery. She is like a magician holding for the first time a fairy wand, not having yet had experience of its potency. ~ Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Women Rights quotes by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
I do not believe the homosexual community deserves minority status. One's misbehavior does not qualify him or her for minority status. Blacks, Hispanics, women, etc., are God-ordained minorities who do indeed deserve minority status. ~ Jerry Falwell
Women Rights quotes by Jerry Falwell
And of course there was the loss of women, some of whom he still woke up aching for. He'd study their remnants alone at night - slips of paper bearing old phone numbers. Photographs. A mitten. In bed he would stare at the ceiling, trying to seize on the exact feeling of a particular woman's head on his chest. It's weight, the smell of her hair. ~ Jonathan Goldstein
Women Rights quotes by Jonathan Goldstein
Thus there is a need for analogical process of deduction of laws and rules in the decision making process by the UN at this juncture, where the world is facing innumerable human rights violation (reported and unreported) pretermitting antithetical implementation of what each nation or any disputing party understands, in its own misinterpreted version of international laws. There is a need for world comity. ~ Henrietta Newton Martin
Women Rights quotes by Henrietta Newton Martin
We hear from time to time about horrible human rights atrocities happening around the globe. Our government claims that it stands in favor of human rights, and our leaders are in the news demanding consequences for other countries that are abusing their populations. But there is a huge denial about how widespread and common these kinds of atrocities are in the United States, and that we are not nearly as different from other countries as we would like to believe we are. ~ Lundy Bancroft
Women Rights quotes by Lundy Bancroft
If you ever loved one prostitute, all women are prostitutes. ~ Petra Hermans
Women Rights quotes by Petra Hermans
Love as much as you can from wherever you are. ~ Marianne Williamson
Women Rights quotes by Marianne Williamson
If you're someone who genuinely believes that women don't deserve or aren't as much as men, you're like the plague. On the big history chart, you're the plague ... It's just pointless and deadly. ~ Joss Whedon
Women Rights quotes by Joss Whedon
I think one challenge is that having few women in your work environment makes you feel a little isolated and alone. I'm an extrovert; I like talking to people, and I make friends easily, but if your personality is somewhat different, I think you would struggle to connect with people. ~ Padmasree Warrior
Women Rights quotes by Padmasree Warrior
What is important is that I have been able to demonstrate to other women and also to Aboriginal people generally that Aboriginal people are capable of doing these things and women are capable of doing these things and Aboriginal women are capable of doing these things. ~ Pat O'Shane
Women Rights quotes by Pat O'Shane
Empirically, all pornography is made under conditions of inequality based on sex, overwhelmingly by poor, desperate, homeless, pimped women who were sexually abused as children. ~ Catharine MacKinnon
Women Rights quotes by Catharine MacKinnon
I am interested in stories that concern women. ~ Jocelyn Moorhouse
Women Rights quotes by Jocelyn Moorhouse
People forget that old women were young once, but d'you think we old women forget? In my heart, I'm still thirty. ~ Megan Chance
Women Rights quotes by Megan Chance
Beautiful women must think about their beauty as capitalists think about their investments or politicians about their majorities; it is all they have to insure their places in the world. ~ Cyril Connolly
Women Rights quotes by Cyril Connolly
All women have a perception much more developed than men. So all women somehow, being repressed for so many millennia, they ended up by developing this sixth sense and contemplation and love. And this is something that we have a hard time to accept as part of our society. ~ Paulo Coelho
Women Rights quotes by Paulo Coelho
