Women's Rights

Why must we fight for women's rights? Learn invaluable lessons from these unstoppable African-Americans.

I am glad to see that men are getting their rights, but I want women to get theirs, and while the water is stirring I will step into the pool.
Sojourner Truth

If women want any rights more than they's got, why don't they just take them, and not be talking about it.
Sojourner Truth

The sadness of the women's movement is that they don't allow the necessity of love. See, I don't personally trust any revolution where love is not allowed.
Maya Angelou

There is a great stir about colored men getting their rights, but not a word about the colored women; and if colored men get their rights, and not colored women theirs, you see the colored men will be masters over the women, and it will be just as bad as it was before. So I am for keeping the thing going while things are stirring; because if we wait till it is still, it will take a great while to get it going again.
Sojourner Truth, Equal Rights Convention

Women's rights is not only an abstraction, a cause; it is also a personal affair. It is not only about "us"; it is also about me and you. Just the two of us.
Toni Morrison

[That little man in black says] woman can't have as much rights as man because Christ wasn't a woman. Where did your Christ come from? . . . From God and a woman. Man has nothing to do with him
