Women movements would form among the factory workers, a great mobilisation that destroyed the old models.

The women's movement completely changed attitudes all over the world in ways we'll never be able to count.

The women's movement is just a symptom of basic changes in the economy that are favoring women.

I think the Women's movement has had a major impact on everybody's lives in our nation and in the world as a whole.

Feminism was about making women's lives less constrained and giving them more choices.

The fact that the movement was carried on by women who, for the most part, had no money of their own and were totally inexperienced in organization, and that they won their fight in about two generations, makes a story often dramatic and always worth preserving.

Women were freed from positive duties when they could not perform them, but not when they could.

Women are degraded by the propensity to enjoy the present moment, and, at last, despise the freedom which they have not sufficient virtue to struggle to attain.

Everything about women is in perpetual crisis.

The women's movement was always going to work in two parts. With one part, we'd break open the doors that were closed to women, and with the other part, we'd walk through, transforming society for men and women. Turns out it was a lot easier to open the doors.
