I am totally against the idea that a Muslim woman should not have the same opportunities as a Muslim man to learn, to open up, to work, help shape the future. To close Islam down to a sexist approach is totally intolerable and ridiculous. It’s not Islam. – Hussein of Jordan
To show the American woman herself off to best advantage – that has always been my aim and that is my real biography. – Hattie Carnegie

She is a woman, therefore may be wooed; She is a woman, therefore may be won; She is Lavinia, therefore must be loved. – William Shakespeare Titus Andronicus, Act Two, Scene 1.

My spiked hair goes back about 15 years ago. I had long, curly rocker hair then. The woman who cuts my hair thought I needed a new style, so I let her surprise me. I flipped when I first saw it, but I soon realized the look was really me. I’ve always been a little crazy. – Guy Fieri
I’d long wanted to write about that moment when a woman steps off the career track to have her first child. For me, that was a scary time. – Hallie Ephron
The Prime Minister is head of team but its not a one woman act. I’ve been called all those things. Intellectual, sharp-tongued, all true. But what New Zealander is like is to know that someone is in charge and in the end the buck stops with the Prime Minister. – Helen Clark
There’s so much saint in the worst of them, and so much devil in the best of them, that a woman who’s married to one of them, has nothing to learn of the rest of them. – Helen Rowland
