There is no instinct that has been so maligned, suppressed, abused, and distorted by religious teaching as the instinct of sex.
Dora RussellWe have never yet had a labor Government that knew what taking power really means; they always act like second-class citizens.
Dora RussellWhat a denial of our humanity that at the centers of power, where decisions are made, there is no room for nurturing, for love, and children. There is more to life than the 'inhuman' work place. It is terrible that many men do not know that: it is a tragedy if women follow them.
Dora RussellFeminists have emphasized for a long time the importance of each woman's individual entity and the necessity of economic independence. Perhaps it was necessary. But now I think we need some emphasis on the instinctive side of life, sex and motherhood.... Life isn't all earning your living. Unfortunately we fall in love and Feminism must take that into consideration.
