Lumière:
“Who will mind the baby” cried one of our public men, in great agony of spirit, “when the mother goes to vote?” .
One woman replied that she thought she could get the person that minded it when she went to pay her taxes –
which seemed to be a fairly reasonable proposition.
Nellie McClung - Canadian Feminist
Lumière:
“We have to be careful in this era of radical feminism, not to emphasize an equality of the sexes that leads women to imitate men to prove their equality. To be equal does not mean you have to be the same.”
~ Eva Burrows

Remarkable quotations by Abigail Adams (1744-1818)- First Lady of the United States (1797-1801)
• Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors.
• Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could.
• If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.
• It is really mortifying, sir, when a woman possessed of a common share of understanding considers the difference of education between the male and female sex, even in those families where education is attended to... Nay why should your sex wish for such a disparity in those whom they one day intend for companions and associates. Pardon me, sir, if I cannot help sometimes suspecting that this neglect arises in some measure from an ungenerous jealousy of rivals near the throne.
• Men of sense in all ages abhor those customs which treat us only as the vassals of your sex.
