Feminist Philosophers

Famous quotes containing the words feminist and/or philosophers:

“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)

“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
