Women Rights

Famous quotes containing the words women and/or rights:

“You make a toast for tomorrow
and smash the cup,
letting your false women lap the dish I had to fatten up.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“Rights! There are no rights whatever without corresponding duties. Look at the history of the growth of our constitution, and you will see that our ancestors never upon any occasion stated, as a ground for claiming any of their privileges, an abstract right inherent in themselves; you will nowhere in our parliamentary records find the miserable sophism of the Rights of Man.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
