Women's Liberation Quotes

The revolution and women’s liberation go together. We do not talk of women’s emancipation as an act of charity or out of a surge of human compassion. It is a basic necessity for the revolution to triumph. Women hold up the other half of the sky Picture Quote #1

Of all the nasty outcomes predicted for women’s liberation... none was more alarming, from a feminist point of view, than the suggestion that women would eventually become just like men Picture Quote #1
