Famous quotes containing the word women:

    “The things women find rewarding about work are, by and large ,the same things that men find rewarding and include both the inherent nature of the work and the social relationships.”
    —Grace Baruch (20th century)

    “The belief that established science and scholarship—which have so relentlessly excluded women from their making—are “objective” and “value-free” and that feminist studies are “unscholarly,” “biased,” and “ideological” dies hard. Yet the fact is that all science, and all scholarship, and all art are ideological; there is no neutrality in culture!”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.”
    —Margaret Fuller (1810–1850)
