Famous quotes containing the words definition, human, rights and/or law:

    According to our social pyramid, all men who feel displaced racially, culturally, and/or because of economic hardships will turn on those whom they feel they can order and humiliate, usually women, children, and animals—just as they have been ordered and humiliated by those privileged few who are in power. However, this definition does not explain why there are privileged men who behave this way toward women.
    Ana Castillo (b. 1953)

    Knowing how beleaguered working mothers truly are—knowing because I am one of them—I am still amazed at how one need only say “I work” to be forgiven all expectation, to be assigned almost a handicapped status that no decent human being would burden further with demands. “I work” has become the universally accepted excuse, invoked as an all-purpose explanation for bowing out, not participating, letting others down, or otherwise behaving inexcusably.
    Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

    I wish the women’s rights folks would be more sensible. I think women have a great deal to learn, before they are fit to vote.
    Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)

    Trust me that as I ignore all law to help the slave, so will I ignore it all to protect an enslaved woman.
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
