Famous quotes by crystal eastman:

    ... there is nothing more irritating to a feminist than the average ‘Woman’s Page’ of a newspaper, with its out-dated assumption that all women have a common trade interest in the household arts, and a common leisure interest in clothes and the doings of ‘high society.’ Women’s interests to-day are as wide as the world.
    Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)

    I am not interested in women just because they’re women. I am interested, however, in seeing that they are no longer classed with children and minors.
    Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
