Famous quotes containing the word women:
“We agree fully that the mother and unborn child demand special consideration. But so does the soldier and the man maimed in industry. Industrial conditions that are suitable for a stalwart, young, unmarried woman are certainly not equally suitable to the pregnant woman or the mother of young children. Yet welfare laws apply to all women alike. Such blanket legislation is as absurd as fixing industrial conditions for men on a basis of their all being wounded soldiers would be.”
—National Womans Party, quoted in Everyone Was Brave. As, ch. 8, by William L. ONeill (1969)
“Think of all the really successful men and women you know. Do you know a single one who didnt learn very young the trick of calling attention to himself in the right quarters?”
—Storm Jameson (18911986)
“Women had to deal with the mens response when the women wanted more time out of the home; men now must deal with the womens response as men want more time in.”
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
