Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:

    The parallel between antifeminism and race prejudice is striking. The same underlying motives appear to be at work, namely fear, jealousy, feelings of insecurity, fear of economic competition, guilt feelings, and the like. Many of the leaders of the feminist movement in the nineteenth-century United States clearly understood the similarity of the motives at work in antifeminism and race discrimination and associated themselves with the anti slavery movement.
    Ashley Montagu (b. 1905)

    How we dwelt in two worlds
    the daughters and the mothers
    in the kingdom of the sons.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
