Famous quotes containing the word women:

    “The best thing that could happen to motherhood already has. Fewer women are going into it.”
    —Victoria Billings (b. 1945)

    “One might imagine that a movement which is so preoccupied with the fulfillment of human potential would have a measure of respect for those who nourish its source. But politics make strange bedfellows, and liberated women have elected to become part of a long tradition of hostility to mothers.”
    —Elaine Heffner (20th century)

    “It seems as though women keep growing. Eventually they can have little or nothing in common with the men they chose long ago.”
    —Eugenie Clark (b. 1922)
