"Feminism is the radical notion that women are people."
-Patricia Ireland, president of NOW (National Organization for Women)
Other Quotes of Note:
"The personal is political."
--Gloria Steinem
"The biological male is the oppressor not by virtue of his male biology but by virtue of his rationalizing supremacy on the basis of that biological difference."
--Anne Koedt, in Radical Feminism
"The domestic subordination of women provided the model out of which slavery developed as a social institution."
--Gerda Lerner, in The Creation of Patriarchy, 1986
"Feminists do not argue that it means the same to women to be on the bottom in a feudal regime, a capitalist regime, and a socialist regime. The commonality is that, despite real changes, bottom is bottom."
--Catharine A. Mackinnon, in Toward a Feminist Theory of the State, 1989.
"To counteract [the] mass-produced self-depreciation [of women], women will have to build female pride, raising up our own standards of how it is good to be a woman. Our failure has consisted in not actively affirming the female ego. If we must feel shame, it should be for this" (emphasis added).
--Mary Daly, in Beyond God the Father, 1973.
"The enslavement of women, combining both racism and sexism, preceded the formation of classes and class oppression. Class differences were, at their very beginnings, expressed and constituted in terms of patriarchal relations. Class is not a separate construct from gender; rather, class is expressed in genderic terms."
--Gerda Lerner, in The Creation of Patriarchy, 1986.
