White Female

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or female:

    It is not the intelligent woman v. the ignorant woman; nor the white woman v. the black, the brown, and the red,—it is not even the cause of woman v. man. Nay, ‘tis woman’s strongest vindication for speaking that the world needs to hear her voice.
    Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

    I am obnoxious to each carping tongue
    Who says my hand a needle better fits,
    A poet’s pen, all scorn, I should thus wrong;
    For such despite they cast on female wits:
    If what I do prove well, it won’t advance,
    They’ll say it’s stolen, or else it was by chance.
    Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)
