Famous quotes containing the word rush:

    “... feminism is a political term and it must be recognized as such: it is political in women’s terms. What are these terms? Essentially it means making connections: between personal power and economic power, between domestic oppression and labor exploitation, between plants and chemicals, feelings and theories; it means making connections between our inside worlds and the outside world.”
    —Anica Vesel Mander, U.S. author and feminist, and Anne Kent Rush (b. 1945)
