Do not rely completely on any other human being, however dear. We meet all life's greatest tests alone.

I want for myself what I want for other women, absolute equality.

Most of the women who have offered themselves for public office over the years have done so, I believe, more because of the 'dirt' than in spite of it.

When I first came to the House of Commons and walked out into the lobby, men sprang to their feet. I asked them to sit down since I'd come to walk around. I didn't want them doing me favours.

If the preservation of the home means the enslavement of women, economically or morally, then we had better break it.
