Clara Zetkin

The clearest explanation for the failure of any marriage is that the two people are incompatible; that is, that one is male and the other female.
Anna Quindlen

The concept of romantic love affords a means of emotional manipulation which the male is free to exploit, since love is the only circumstance in which the female is (ideologically) pardoned for sexual activity.
Kate Millett

The corporate woman has been defined as the 'liberated woman' and I see that as the exact opposite. I think she now is more enslaved, maybe even more than the housewife was; because she's so out of her power, and imitating male power is not female power.
Kenny Loggins

The essence of life is the smile of round female bottoms, under the shadow of cosmic boredom.
Guy de Maupassant

The excitement that you were feeling about a special, unique path for yourself as a woman is all part of your identification with and attachment to being female. And that's ultimately all ego.
Andrew Cohen

The fact that my female characters have strong personalities but are also physically attractive probably reflects the women I've known in my life.
Sidney Sheldon

Maya Angelou

Lydia Lunch

The female of the genus homo is economically dependent on the male. He is her food supply.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman

The jargon of sculptors is beyond me. I do not know precisely why I admire a green granite female, apparently pregnant monster with one eye going around a square corner.
Ezra Pound

The members of the court were just delighted to have a ninth member - male or female. They were all kind and welcoming.
Sandra Day O'Connor

The night before I compete, I like to have steak. Meat is especially important for female athletes because it provides them with the nutrients they need to perform at their best.
Sasha Cohen

The notion of a universality of human experience is a confidence trick and the notion of a universality of female experience is a clever confidence trick.
Angela Carter

The priests are debarred from female society, nor is any woman permitted to enter the religious houses.
Hernando Cortes

The reason there are so few female politicians is that it is too much trouble to put makeup on two faces.
Maureen Murphy

The simplest and most basic meaning of the symbol of the Goddess is the acknowledgment of the legitimacy of female power as a beneficent and independent power.
Carol P. Christ

The sum and substance of female education in America, as in England, is training women to consider marriage as the sole object in life, and to pretend that they do not think so.
Harriet Martineau

The worker is the slave of capitalist society, the female worker is the slave of that slave.
James Connolly

There are a lot of female artists my age around at the moment, but they're all American and blonde and blue-eyed and smiley. I'm totally the opposite of that. I want to show a bit more attitude and I have an opinion.
