I’ve been a proud mentor to many women seeking public office, because I believe we need more women at all levels of government. Women have an equal stake in our future and should have an equal voice in our politics. These are challenging times, but I believe getting more women to run for office is a big part of the solution. – Kamala Harris
Talk about America great. Great for who? We’ll make America great for everybody the first time. Never was great for blacks. Never was great for Latinos. Wasn’t great for women. – Al Sharpton Baptist minister and civil rights activist at George Floyd memorial service in Minneapolis.
There has to be a place in feminism for women who look and act like me. The kind of woman who says no but men hear yes; the kind of women who are slated mercilessly for being their authentic, delicate selves; the kind of women who get their own stories and voices taken away from them by stronger women or by men who hate women. – Lana Del Rey
I’d be delighted to offer any advice I have on understanding women. When I have some, I’ll let you know. – Capt. Jean-Luc Picard Star Trek: The Next Generation, ‘In Theory’.
I think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men; they are far superior and always have been. – William Golding
Women have no beginning only continual flows. Though rivers flow women are not rivers. Women are not roses they are not oceans or stars. I would like to tell her this but I think she already knows. – Ana Castillo Women Are Not Roses
The Church should say, ‘I’m frightened that women will be ordained;’ that’s honest, say that. But don’t say, ‘It’s a grave sin,’ because that’s nonsense. – Greg Boyle
I’m thrilled to partner with Gillette to help men understand what women want. If we’re able to give them that information, and Gillette can give them the tools to get there, then we both win, and that’s very exciting. – Hannah Simone
Women leading big corporations or assuming various important social and political roles is still considered newsworthy, which clearly shows the need to further support and enhance the role of women in society. – Guler Sabanci
I think I am at my best when my hair is short. It’s easier to take care of and more of who I am. Women are conditioned to think we need long hair. – Halle Berry
I see women as oppressed, but I don’t see them as victims; I see them rising all the time. I see them as very strong. – Grace Paley
Guys will definitely settle for women who get the joke. But a woman who can make you laugh? It’s not high on a guy’s must list. Perhaps it should be. – Hank Azaria
The GOP grows more and more unpopular with female voters seemingly every time one of its leaders gets in front of a microphone. Misogynist is as misogynist does. The GOP and its bloviating pundits don’t like women and they are unable to hide it, nor do they seem to make much attempt to do so. – Henry Rollins
Most of the Women’s Libbers I knew really didn’t want to have a piece of the men’s pie. They thought that pie was kind of poisonous, toxic, really full of weapons, poison gases, all kinds of mean junk we didn’t even want a slice of. – Grace Paley
I don’t feel there’s a difference between the real world and the fairy-tale world. They contain psychological truths and, I guess, projections of what the culture that tells them thinks about various things: men, women, aging, dying – the most basic aspects of being human. – Helen Oyeyemi

I was not going to attack Palin just for being a woman appealing for support from other women. – Hillary Clinton
In China, a lot of the opening up of private entrepreneurship is happening because women are starting businesses, small businesses, faster than men. – Hanna Rosin
Today, most women are surrounded by ingenious gadgets. They don’t grow the peas or raise the chicken that they serve for dinner; instead they hunt and gather in the grocery store. They go through catalogs or department stores to buy clothes instead of shearing sheep, carding wool, and weaving cloth for skirts and coats and blankets. – Helen Fisher
My favorite play in drama school was ‘The Bacchae.’ It’s about a king who literally gets eaten alive by all the women in the play in a kind of orgy – it’s related to the word ‘bacchanal’ – and I loved that idea of animalistic chaos and following our own desires. – Hugh Jackman
