Famous quotes containing the words professional and/or bodies:

    “Men seem more bound to the wheel of success than women do. That women are trained to get satisfaction from affiliation rather than achievement has tended to keep them from great achievement. But it has also freed them from unreasonable expectations about the satisfactions that professional achievement brings.”
    —Phyllis Rose (b. 1942)

    “The repossession by women of our bodies will bring far more essential change to human society than the seizing of the means of production by workers.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
