Famous quotes by crystal eastman:

    ... there is nothing more irritating to a feminist than the average ‘Woman’s Page’ of a newspaper, with its out-dated assumption that all women have a common trade interest in the household arts, and a common leisure interest in clothes and the doings of ‘high society.’ Women’s interests to-day are as wide as the world.
    Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)

    If the feminist program goes to pieces on the arrival of the first baby, it’s false and useless.
    Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
