Gloria Steinem
“When humans are ranked instead of linked, everyone loses.”
Gloria Steinem, My Life on the Road

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“No pain can be greater than the pain of one person. [...] In other words, no suffering can be greater than that of one human being. [...} The whole planet cannot suffer more than a lone soul.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Andrea Dworkin
“Virtually all ideologies are implicitly antifeminist in that women are sacrificed to higher goals: the higher goal of reproduction; the higher goal of pleasure; the higher goal of a freedom antipathetic to the freedom of women; the higher goal of better conditions for workers not women; the higher goal of a new order that keeps the sex exploitation of women essentially intact; the higher goal of an old order that considers the sex exploitation of women a sign of social stability (woman’s in her place, all’s right with the world).”
Andrea Dworkin, Right-Wing Women

Marilyn French
“And there are so much easier ways to destroy a woman. You don't have to rape her or kill her; you don't even have to beat her. You can just marry her. You don't even have to do that. You can just let her work in your office for thirty-five dollars a week.”
Marilyn French

Naomi Wolf
“Only God, my dear,” wrote Yeats blithely, “Could love you for yourself alone/And not your yellow hair.” This quote is meant as a bit of lighthearted verse. But it is an epic tragedy in three lines.”
Naomi Wolf, The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty Are Used Against Women
