No woman gets an orgasm from shining the kitchen floor.

A girl should not expect special privileges because of her sex, but neither should she "adjust" to prejudice and discrimination.

Why the increasing emphasis by professional age experts and the media on - and public acceptance of - the nursing home as the locus of age when, in fact, more than ninety percent of those over sixty-five continue to live in the community?

American women were frustrated in just the role of housewife - but they also managed to enlarge it. And they weren't just housewives, they were community leaders.

We can no longer ignore that voice within women that says: 'I want something more than my husband and my children and my home.'

Men weren't really the enemy - they were fellow victims suffering from an outmoded masculine mystique that made them feel unnecessarily inadequate when there were no bears to kill.
