Discourse/feminism

Famous quotes containing the words discourse and/or feminism:

    “Hath homely age th’ alluring beauty took
    From my poor cheek? Then he hath wasted it.
    Are my discourses dull? Barren my wit?
    If voluble and sharp discourse be marred,
    Unkindness blunts it more than marble hard.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I ... have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is. I only know that people call me a feminist when I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat, or a prostitute.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)
