Famous quotes containing the word women:

“Tailor’s work—the finishing of men’s outside garments—was the “trade” learned most frequently by women in [the 1820s and 1830s], and one or more of my older sisters worked at it; I think it must have been at home, for I somehow or somewhere got the idea, while I was a small child, that the chief end of woman was to make clothing for mankind.”
—Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)

“At certain times, men regard poetry merely as a bright flame, but to women it was, and always will be, a warm fire.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

“Women have face-lifts in a society in which women without them appear to vanish from sight.”
—Naomi Wolf (b. 1962)
