“The same patriarchy that oppresses women oppresses nonhuman animals. Farmed animals and “housewives,” “lab” animals and prostitutes, dancing bears and girls in the sex trade—all have too long been exploited by the same patriarchal hierarchy wherein the comparatively weak are exploited for the benefit of the powerful.”
― Lisa Kemmerer, Speaking Up for Animals: An Anthology of Women's Voices

“Feminists have often highlighted the “otherness” of nonhuman animals while highlighting similarities between women and the men who hold power. Biologically speaking, any two humans will be
more similar than a human and any other species. But the position of most women in patriarchal societies is closer to that of chickens and cows than it is to that of the men who hold power.”
― Lisa Kemmerer, Speaking Up for Animals: An Anthology of Women's Voices

“A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men.”
― Gloria Steinem
