Quotes
"To be a feminist...is to be critical - to ask questions about how society functions, about how women live in society. Feminism is a process of questioning rather than a 'dogma' or a set of proscribed positions or answers." - Jackie Brown
"More than ever, our societies need women with a vision of the future."- Rigoberto Menchu Tum
"Feminist politics aims to end domination, to free us to be who we are - to live lives where we love justice, where we can live in peace. Feminism is for everybody." - bell hooks"The education and empowerment of women across the world is bound to lead to more peace, more justice, more tolerance and more solidarity." - Aung San Suu Kyi"Yes, I am a woman.
And my color is brown.
I am one among half a billion, but at the end of the day, I am only one.
I walk with my sisters, but at the end of the day, my footsteps are mine alone.
And you may confuse them with the millions of others that tread paths all around me, but I can see mine clearly, as I plant each foot firmly ahead of the other, walking, striding, marching to be fully Me."
- Dilnavaz Bamboat "Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing." - Arundhati RoyUseful and Fun Links
