Famous quotes containing the word women:

    “To a philosopher all news, as it is called, is gossip, and they who edit it and read it are old women over their tea.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Why am I so determined to put the shoulder where it belongs? Women have very round shoulders that push forward slightly; this touches me and I say: “One must not hide that!” Then someone tells you: “The shoulder is on the back.” I’ve never seen women with shoulders on their backs.”
    —Coco Chanel (1883–1971)

    “... the prevalent custom of educating young women only for marriage, and not for the duties and responsibilities consequent on marriage—only for appendages and dead weights to husbands—of bringing them up without an occupation, profession, or employment, and thus leaving them dependent on anyone but themselves—is an enormous evil, and an unpardonable sin.”
    —Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)
