Gender is the poetry each of us makes out of the language we are taught.
One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.
I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.
We need to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves. We have to step up as women and take the lead.
I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.
A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men.
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.
I am deliberate and afraid of nothing.
We realize the importance of our voices only when we are silenced.
Gender is a journey, not a destination.
Gender is a kind of imitation for which there is no original.
If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.
When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak.
Gender is a social construct that creates oppressive roles for everyone.
We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back.
Feminism is the radical notion that women are human beings.
Women's rights are human rights.
The future depends entirely on what each of us does every day; a movement is only people moving.
In societies where men are truly confident of their own worth, women are not merely tolerated but valued.
