Famous quotes containing the words world and/or women:
“... this world gives no room
to be what we dreamt of being”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“The root of the discontent in American women is that they are too well educated.... There will be no real content among American women unless they are made and kept more ignorant or unless they are given equal opportunity with men to use what they have been taught. And American men will not be really happy until their women are.”
—Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)
