Famous quotes containing the word women:

    “Men never think, at least seldom think, what a hard task it is for us women to go through this very often. God’s will be done, and if He decrees that we are to have a great number of children why we must try to bring them up as useful and exemplary members of society.”
    —Victoria (1819–1901)

    “The feminine mystique has succeeded in burying millions of American women alive.”
    —Betty Friedan (b. 1921)

    “In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass,
    I find letters from God dropt in the street, and every one is sign’d by God’s name.
    And I leave them where they are, for I know that wheresoe’er I go,
    Others will punctually come for ever and ever.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
