For a man to say, "I have to leave work now because I need to do something with my kids," it's sometimes viewed as a career killer. He doesn't have the right drive. So when they depart from their gender roles, they face some of the same restrictions.

During the first suffragist wave in this nation, women were possessions, like a table or a chair. So violence toward them was quite condoned. The attitude has diminished, but it's still there.

No one can give us power. If we aren’t part of the process of taking it, we won’t be strong enough to use it.

Overthrowing capitalism is too small for us. We must overthrow the whole...patriarch!

I do think it's important that there are feminist publications that are not dependent or only marginally dependent on advertising.

It still may take some explaining, but many more women are keeping their birth names (and not calling them maiden names, with all the sexual double standards that implies).

Voting isn't the most we can do. But it is the least.
