There are certainly a lot of things that still need to change when it comes to women in the workforce.

It is not women’s liberation, it is women’s and men’s liberation.

Generally speaking, men are held in great esteem in all parts of the world, so why shouldn’t women have their share? Soldiers and war heroes are honored and commemorated, explorers are granted immortal fame, martyrs are revered, but how many people look upon women too as soldiers?

I’ve never had a dislike for men. I’ve been badly treated by some. But I’ve been loved greatly by some. I married a lot of them.

I have worshipped woman as the living embodiment of the spirit of service and sacrifice.

But I do not believe that the world would be entirely different if there were more women leaders. Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman, you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top, they haven’t exactly been non-aggressive – including me.

I never realized until lately that women were supposed to be the inferior sex.

So people are talking about revolution. What a revolution it would be to have a woman president.

If you want to occupy the C-suite or the top one-tenth of 1% in any organization, you have to be obsessively devoted to your career at the expense of everything else. And women look at that, and they think, ‚No.‘

If I were a woman, I’d simply refuse to speak to any man or do anything for men until I’d got the vote.

Women must tell men always that they are the strong ones. They are the big, the strong, the wonderful. In truth, women are the strong ones. It is just my opinion, I am not a professor.

By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day.

If we help an educated man’s daughter to go to Cambridge are we not forcing her to think not about education but about war? – not how she can learn, but how she can fight in order that she might win the same advantages as her brothers?

I don’t mind living in a man’s world as long as I can be a woman in it.

As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.

That’s all I could ever hope for, to have a positive effect on women. ‚Cos women are powerful, powerful beings. But they’re also the most doubtful beings. They’ll never know – we’ll never know – how powerful we are.

Being the boss anywhere is lonely. Being a female boss in a world of mostly men is especially so.

You may try but you can never imagine what it is to have a man’s form of genius in you, and to suffer the slavery of being a girl.

No one will ever win the battle of the sexes; there’s too much fraternizing with the enemy.

I love stories about women.

Women should be obscene and not heard.

The basic Buddhist stand on the question of equality between the genders is age-old. At the highest tantric levels, at the highest esoteric level, you must respect women: every woman.

It is our duty as men and women to proceed as though the limits of our abilities do not exist.

We as women, we have to understand that we know more, just even instinctively, than we think we do.

If you insist upon fighting to protect me, or ‚our‘ country, let it be understood soberly and rationally between us that you are fighting to gratify a sex instinct which I cannot share; to procure benefits where I have not shared and probably will not share.

In the duel of sex woman fights from a dreadnought and man from an open raft.

If we do not lift up women and families, everyone will fall short.

Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country.

Black men don’t like to be called ‚boys,‘ but women accept being called ‚girls.‘

I remember being in Japan when Destiny’s Child put out ‚Independent Women,‘ and women there were saying how proud they were to have their own jobs, their own independent thinking, their own goals. It made me feel so good, and I realized that one of my responsibilities was to inspire women in a deeper way.

We need women who are devoted to shepherding God’s children along the covenant path toward exaltation; women who know how to receive personal revelation, who understand the power and peace of the temple endowment; women who know how to call upon the powers of heaven to protect and strengthen children and families; women who teach fearlessly.

Living in America and, of course, just being women in general, we’ve got more strength than we think we do.

If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.

We have to work harder to develop a profound theology of women within the church. The feminine genius is needed wherever we make important decisions.

Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men, by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted.

Sexism is part of every industry and must be addressed. But I try not to focus on the negative but the positive side of what we can bring.

A gender line… helps to keep women not on a pedestal, but in a cage.

I think many people in my community had very different kinds of mothers: they had mothers who acquiesced in the system of male and white-supremacist domination, and my mother never did. She just could not do it. It just wasn’t in her.

I was raised by strong women, and that DNA is in my daughter and wife.

Hillary Clinton will always be there for you. And just remember – there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other.

I’ve never thought about any kind of prejudice about women in country music because I never felt like it affected me. I was fortunate enough to come about in a time when I didn’t feel that kind of energy at all, and it was always my theory that if you want to play in the same ballgame as the boys, you’ve got to work as hard as them.

It doesn’t matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I’m a woman or a man.

I separated from the Southern Baptists when they adopted the discriminatory attitude towards women, because I believe what Paul taught in Galatians that there is no distinction in God’s eyes between men and women, slaves and masters, Jews and non-Jews – everybody is created equally in the eyes of God.

Woman was God’s second mistake.

But for me to have the opportunity to stand in front of a bunch of executives and present myself, I had to hustle in my own way. I can’t tell you how frustrating it was that they didn’t get that. No joke – I’d leave meetings crying all the time.

No woman in my time will be prime minister or chancellor or foreign secretary – not the top jobs. Anyway, I wouldn’t want to be prime minister; you have to give yourself 100 percent.

I owe nothing to Women’s Lib.

As far as a glass ceiling, I feel that all you can do is give it your absolute best with whatever gifts the universe has given you. And if you make it in some way that other people can recognize, that’s fine. But even if you don’t quote-unquote make it, you’re fine if you’ve given it your whole heart and soul.

I have to tell you, my seven-year-old granddaughter said to my daughter, her mother, ‚So what’s the big deal about Grandma Maddy having been Secretary of State? Only girls are Secretaries of State.‘ Most of her lifetime, it’s true. But at the time it really was a big deal.

A mother deserves a day off to care for a sick child or sick parent without running into hardship – and you know what, a father does, too. It’s time to do away with workplace policies that belong in a ‚Mad Men‘ episode.

Women must pay for everything. They do get more glory than men for comparable feats, but, they also get more notoriety when they crash.

A man makes you feel important – makes you glad you are a woman.

I’m for women choosing whatever they want to do but they have to really know what they are doing.

I was a proponent of the ERA. The women of my generation and my daughter’s generation, they were very active in moving along the social change that would result in equal citizenship stature for men and women.

Women feel empowered when they can do the things that are supposed to be only for men, you know? It breaks boundaries, it’s liberating, and it’s empowering when you feel like, ‚Well, I can do that, too.‘

There are a number of women who have brought about immense change in society.

Remember: your bosses prefer to keep you in dependent positions. It is in their interest that you do not become self-reliant, and so they will tend to hoard information. You must secretly work against this and seize this information for yourself.

Women have to summon up courage to fulfill dormant dreams.

Social progress can be measured by the social position of the female sex.

I actually feel like women in my position, when we have all at our disposal to help us, shouldn’t complain when we consider all of the people who are really struggling and don’t have the means or support. Many people are single, raising children. That’s hard.

Man can never be a woman’s equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her.
