A good part - and definitely the most fun part - of being a feminist is about frightening men.

Being a woman is a terribly difficult task since it consists principally in dealing with men.

We all fight over what the label 'feminism' means but for me it's about empowerment. It's not about being more powerful than men - it's about having equal rights with protection support justice. It's about very basic things. It's not a badge like a fashion item.

I love being a woman and I was not one of these women who rose through professional life by wearing men's clothes or looking masculine. I loved wearing bright colors and being who I am.

I know there is a Supreme Being who rules the affairs of men and whose goodness and mercy have always followed the American people and I know He will not turn from us now if we humbly and reverently seek His powerful aid.

There is no better proof of a man's being truly good than his desiring to be constantly under the observation of good men.

When I look upon seamen men of science and philosophers man is the wisest of all beings when I look upon priests and prophets nothing is as contemptible as man.

I like being a woman even in a man's world. After all men can't wear dresses but we can wear the pants.

What I would say to the young men and women who are beset by hopelessness and doubt is that they should go and see what is being done on the ground to fight poverty not like going to the zoo but to take action to open their hearts and their consciences.

Men who do things without being told draw the most wages.
