Black Women

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or women:

    (The black stream, catching on a sunken rock,
    Flung backward on itself in one white wave,
    And the white water rode the black forever.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    They who say that women do not desire the right of suffrage, that they prefer masculine domination to self-government, falsify every page of history, every fact in human experience. It has taken the whole power of the civil and canon law to hold woman in the subordinate position which it is said she willingly accepts.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
