Famous quotes by crystal eastman:
“I am not interested in women just because they’re women. I am interested, however, in seeing that they are no longer classed with children and minors.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
“... there is nothing more irritating to a feminist than the average ‘Woman’s Page’ of a newspaper, with its out-dated assumption that all women have a common trade interest in the household arts, and a common leisure interest in clothes and the doings of ‘high society.’ Women’s interests to-day are as wide as the world.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
“Indifference is harder to fight than hostility, and there is nothing that kills an agitation like having everybody admit that it is fundamentally right.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
“It is not so much that women have a different point of view in politics as that they give a different emphasis. And this is vastly important, for politics is so largely a matter of emphasis.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
