More Outspoken Women
"In politics, if you want anything said, ask a man;
if you want anything done, ask a woman."
~Margaret Thatcher
"If women can sleep their way to the top,
how come they aren't there? There must be an epidemic of insomnia out there."
~Ellen Goodman, syndicated columist
"There is no single reality, but rather multiple realities,
and what is represented depends on one's position in the field of negotiation.
It is an ongoing process of negotiating reality."
~Elizabeth Ann R. Bird, The Social Construction of Nature: Theoretical Approaches to the History of Environmental Problems

~Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop

"I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career."
~Gloria Steinem
"Men, their rights and nothing more;
women, their rights and nothing less."
~Susan B. Anthony, 19th century suffragist
"Some ecocentric perspectives blame the ideology of
scientific and technological progress for initiating the exploitation of women and nature,
while others posit deeper and more universal roots of such exploitation,
however, both turn upon the association of women with nature
and tend to deal with gender ideologies and metaphors in isolation
from changing material conditions."
~Cecile Jackson, Women/Nature or Gender/History? A Critique of Ecofeminist "Development"
"Eve's daughters were conveniently held responsible
for a society's ills. Medicine became a licensed profession and women
were excluded from the universities. As craft guilds flourished,
women's work was made less and less visible as the home became her province.
If not silent, chaste and obedient, a woman was a potential
threat to her world."
~Nancy Gray and Carolyn Woodward, From Pyre to Hearth
"It is important to make a distinction between
attacking the institutionalized, systematic oppression...
and attacking men as individuals."
~Barbara Smith, Changing our Power
