| Women should be tough, tender, laugh as much as possible, and live long lives. The struggle for equality continues unabated, and the woman warrior who is armed with wit and courage will be among the first to celebrate victory. --Maya Angelou-- |

| "Phenomenal Woman" by Maya Angelou | Some Quotes... |
| Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms, The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I am a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, The joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say, It's the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say, It's the click of my heels, The bend in my hair, The palm of my hand, The need of my care. 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. More Maya Angelou |
"When will women begin to have the first glimmer that above all other loyalties is the loyalty to truth, i.e. to yourself, and that husband, children, friends, and country are as nothing to that?" --Alice James-- "Anything may happen when womanhood has ceased to be a protected occupation." --Virgina Woolfe-- "The Golden Rule works for men as written, but for women it should go the other way around. We need to do unto ourselves as we do unto others." --Gloria Steinem-- "What is most beautiful in virile men is something feminine; what is most beautiful in feminine women is something masculine." --Susan Sontag-- "So much has been said and sung about beautiful young girls; why don't somebody wake up to the beauty of old women?" --Harriet Beecher Stowe-- "To be a liberated woman is to renounce the desire of being a sex object or a baby girl. It is to acknowledge that the Cinderella/Prince Charming story is a child's fairy tale." --Clare Boothe Luce-- "A woman is like a tea bag: You never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water." --Eleanor Roosevelt-- "Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke; that's their natural and first weapon." --Gloria Steinem-- "I feel there is something unexplored about women that only a woman can explore." --Georgia O'Keefe-- |
