A woman that speaks the truth finds no favor in my eyes, for she disturbs the pretty theories I cherish about her sex.
ABRAHAM MILLER
Unmoral Maxims
You won't regret the men you never killed, but you will regret the women you passed up.
BERNARD CORNWELL
The Winter King
If women are by barbarians reduced to the level of slaves, it is because barbarians themselves have never yet risen to the rank of men.
ARISTOTLE
Politics
What a man is is an arrow into the future and what a woman is is the place the arrow shoots off from.
SYLVIA PLATH
The Bell Jar
A pretty girl is like a melody
That haunts you night and day.
IRVING BERLIN
"A Pretty Girl is like a Melody"
The happiest women, like the happiest nations, have no history.
GEORGE ELIOT
The Mill on the Floss
No man can describe to another convincingly wherein lies the magic of the woman who ensnares him.
ALGERNON BLACKWOOD
Strange Stories
I think that women as a group are so powerful. I still don't think we are able to embrace our power well enough yet. We think we live in a man's world and we have to follow their rules, and yet, we're so different, and our rules are so different. I wish that we could come together more as a political force. If women ran the world, I don't believe that there would be war. I really don't.... We understand the bigger picture. We understand our impact on the environment, on the world. We understand the generations that will go after us because we gave birth to them.
KYRA SEDGWICK

Women are more than freestanding uteruses.

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.
JOHN GRAY
Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus
Somewhere along the lines, women let someone tell us that we can't have it all. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Really? Well then what is the point of serving me the cake if I can't eat it as well?
TAMARA ANGELA GRANT
"Women Are Necessary...", Huffington Post, March 9, 2017
I think women of a certain generation, mine in particular, feel like we can have it all because that's what we were fed. It's like, we reap the benefits of the feminist movement -- they did all the legwork and now we're going to try to be parents and successful business people and great wives and good friends and take a cooking class and blah, blah, blah ...
SARAH JESSICA PARKER
interview, BBC, December 13, 2005
It's the silliest lie a sensible man like you ever believed, to say a woman makes a house comfortable. It's a story got up, because the women are there, and something must be found for 'em to do. I tell you there isn't a thing under the sun that needs to be done at all, but what a man can do better than a woman, unless it's bearing children, and they do that in a poor make-shift way; it had better ha' been left to the men.... I tell you, a woman 'ull bake you a pie every week of her life, and never come to see that the hotter th' oven the shorter the time.
GEORGE ELIOT
Adam Bede
A woman's charm is fifty percent illusion.
TENNESSEE WILLIAMS
A Streetcar Named Desire
The only question left to be settled now is: Are women persons? And I hardly believe any of our opponents will have the hardihood to say they are not.
SUSAN B. ANTHONY
speech after her arrest for voting in the 1872 presidential election
Men's eyes are in their heads; women's, in their hearts.
IVAN PANIN
Thoughts
Woman ... is the divine object, violated, endlessly sacrificed yet always reborn, whose only joy, achieved through a subtle interplay of images, lies in contemplation of herself.
PAULINE RÉAGE
introduction, The Image
I seen a pretty woman in a red dress ... And then I seen her take it off. What else is there?
WILLIAM GAY
Provinces of Night
Men are allowed to have passion and commitment for their work ... a woman is allowed that feeling for a man, but not her work.
