If Miss means respectably unmarried, and Mrs. respectably married, then Ms. means nudge, nudge, wink, wink.<\/span>
\nAngela Carter<\/span><\/p>\n

A woman should say: “Have I made him happy? Is he satisfied? Does he love me more than he loved me before? Is he likely to go to bed with another woman?” If he does, then it’s the wife’s fault because she is not trying to make him happy.<\/span>

\nJennie Jerome Churchill<\/span><\/p>\n

It seems as though women keep growing. Eventually they can have little or nothing in common with the men they chose long ago.<\/span>
\nEugenie Clark<\/span><\/p>\n

Women are a sisterhood. They make common cause in behalf of the sex; and, indeed, this is natural enough, when we consider the vast power that the law gives us over them.<\/span>
\nWilliam Cobbett<\/span><\/p>\n

Were there no women, men might live like gods.<\/span>
\nThomas Dekker<\/span><\/p>\n

\nDon Delillo<\/span><\/p>\n

All observations point to the fact that the intellectual woman is masculinized; in her, warm, intuitive knowledge has yielded to cold unproductive thinking.<\/span>

\nDenis Diderot<\/span><\/p>\n

\"International<\/a>
International women’s day quotes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s only women who are not really quite women at all, frivolous women who have no idea, who neglect repairs.<\/span>
\nMarguerite Duras<\/span><\/p>\n

\nMarguerite Duras<\/span><\/p>\n

There are only three things to be done with a woman. You can love her, suffer for her, or turn her into literature.<\/span>
\nLawrence Durrell<\/span><\/p>\n

Woman is not born: she is made. In the making, her humanity is destroyed. She becomes symbol of this, symbol of that: mother of the earth, slut of the universe; but she never becomes herself because it is forbidden for her to do so.<\/span>
\nAndrea Dworkin<\/span><\/p>\n

Upscale young men seem to go for the kind of woman who plays with a full deck of credit cards, who won’t cry when she’s knocked to the ground while trying to board the six o’clock Eastern shuttle, and whose schedule doesn’t allow for a sexual encounter lasting more than twelve minutes.<\/span>
\nBarbara Ehrenreich<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us treat the men and women well: treat them as if they were real: perhaps they are.<\/span>

Like poetry, even a woman is poetic if she carries secrets inside!<\/span>
\nCarl William Brown<\/span><\/p>\n

A woman’s heart must be of such a size and no larger, else it must be pressed small, like Chinese feet; her happiness is to be made as cakes are, by a fixed receipt.<\/span>
\nGeorge Eliot<\/span><\/p>\n

And when a woman’s will is as strong as the man’s who wants to govern her, half her strength must be concealment.<\/span>
\nGeorge Eliot<\/span><\/p>\n

I should like to know what is the proper function of women, if it is not to make reasons for husbands to stay at home, and still stronger reasons for bachelors to go out.<\/span>
\nGeorge Eliot<\/span><\/p>\n

Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don’t are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn’t put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian.<\/span>
\nFran Lebowitz<\/span><\/p>\n

I tell you there isn’t a thing under the sun that needs to be done at all, but what a man can do better than a woman, unless it’s bearing children, and they do that in a poor make-shift way; it had better ha been left to the men.<\/span>
\nGeorge Eliot<\/span><\/p>\n

The happiest women, like the happiest nations, have no history.<\/span>
\nGeorge Eliot<\/span><\/p>\n

Where women love each other, men learn to smother their mutual dislike.<\/span>
\nGeorge Eliot<\/span><\/p>\n

Of all things upon earth that bleed and grow, an herb most bruised is woman.<\/span>
\nEuripides<\/span><\/p>\n

Slavery it is that makes slavery; freedom, freedom. The slavery of women happened when the men were slaves of kings.<\/span>
\nRalph Waldo Emerson<\/span><\/p>\n

The girl with a future avoids a man with a past.<\/span>

When a woman behaves like a man why doesn’t she behave like a nice man?<\/span>
\nDame Edith Evans<\/span><\/p>\n

Observe this, that tho a woman swear, forswear, lie, dissemble, back-bite, be proud, vain, malicious, anything, if she secures the main chance, she’s still virtuous; that’s a maxim.<\/span>
\nGeorge Farquhar<\/span><\/p>\n

Women lie about their age; men lie about their income.<\/span>
\nWilliam Feather<\/span><\/p>\n
