Women

Famous quotes containing the word women:

“In the courts women have no rights, no voice; nobody speaks for them. I wish woman to have her voice there among the pettifoggers. If it is not a fit place for women, it is unfit for men to be there.”
—Sojourner Truth (1797–1883)

“Forgive you?—Oh, of course, dear,
A dozen times a week!
We women were created
Forgiveness but to speak.”
—Ella Higginson (1862–1940)

“You know, [women] do not really condemn any weakness: rather, they try to humiliate or disarm our strengths. That is why women are the reward, not of the warrior, but of the criminal.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
