Women Rights

Famous quotes containing the words women and/or rights:

    A woman with cut hair is a filthy spectacle, and much like a monster ... it being natural and comely to women to nourish their hair, which even God and nature have given them for a covering, a token of subjection, and a natural badge to distinguish them from men.
    William Prynne (1600–1669)

    I set out on this ground, which I suppose to be self evident, “that the earth belongs in usufruct to the living”: that the dead have neither powers nor rights over it.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
