No existence can be validly fulfilled if it is limited to itself.

Women aren't more easily swayed by fascism than men, but I believe that their situation makes them in effect more slavish than men.

I think that feminism permits women to speak among themselves, instead of simply being resentful, having personal complaints, which get them nowhere and which make them sick and ill-tempered, depressive and poison the lives of their husbands and children. It's much better to arrive at a collective consciousness of this problem, which is both a kind of therapy and the basis for a struggle.

Women's mutual understanding comes from the fact that they identify themselves with each other; but for the same reason each is against the others.

There are topics which are common to men and women. I think that if a woman speaks of oppression, of misery, she will speak of it in exactly the same way as a man. But if she speaks of her own personal problems as a woman, she will obviously speak in another way.

To create a language all of a piece which would be a women's language, that I find quite insane. There does not exist a mathematics which is only a women's mathematics, or a feminine science.

All oppression creates a state of war.
