—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Whether we regard the Women’s Liberation movement as a serious threat, a passing convulsion, or a fashionable idiocy, it is a movement that mounts an attack on practically everything that women value today and introduces the language and sentiments of political confrontation into the area of personal relationships.”
—Arianna Stassinopoulos (b. 1950)
“It makes worries like what you wear today seem stupid.”
—Rebecca Neel (b. c. 1981)
