Women Rights

Famous quotes containing the words women and/or rights:

“All the proud fathers are ashamed to go home.
Their women cluck like starved pullets,
Dying for love.”
—James Wright (1927–1980)

“Rights! There are no rights whatever without corresponding duties. Look at the history of the growth of our constitution, and you will see that our ancestors never upon any occasion stated, as a ground for claiming any of their privileges, an abstract right inherent in themselves; you will nowhere in our parliamentary records find the miserable sophism of the Rights of Man.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
