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

Coaching is nothing more than eliminating mistakes before you get fired.

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 want to make a policy statement. I am unabashedly in favor of women.

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

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.

Big jobs usually go to the men who prove their ability to outgrow small ones.

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

Aristotle maintained that women have fewer teeth than men; although he was twice married, it never occurred to him to verify this statement by examining his wives‘ mouths.

Nothing can be more absurd than the practice that prevails in our country of men and women not following the same pursuits with all their strengths and with one mind, for thus, the state instead of being whole is reduced to half.

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

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

Whether women are better than men I cannot say – but I can say they are certainly no worse.

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.

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.

I don’t like being told what to do and kissing you-know-what to get up the corporate ladder.

Once made equal to man, woman becomes his superior.

I would not like to be the only woman on the court.

I felt like, for so many years – and I still even feel it – as a girl, you can’t really expect to go on stage and dress like a boy and jump around and scream with the audience and mosh and stuff, and every time that happens, I feel really proud.

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?

Fixing a broken immigration system. Protecting our kids from gun violence. Equal pay for equal work, paid leave, raising the minimum wage. All these things still matter to hardworking families; they are still the right thing to do; and I will not let up until they get done.

Aviation, this young modern giant, exemplifies the possible relationship of women and the creations of science. Although women have not taken full advantage of its use and benefits, air travel is as available to them as to men.

The expression a woman wears on her face is far more important than the clothes she wears on her back.

Clever and attractive women do not want to vote; they are willing to let men govern as long as they govern men.

Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.

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

Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.

Feminists wish women to seem like men. They’re not men.

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

Men and women aren’t the same. And they won’t be the same. That doesn’t mean that they can’t be treated fairly.

I think women want to take care of themselves, and I think having a voice in how that is done is very important.

I didn’t want to set up a women’s studies program. I thought women should learn to operate in a coeducational atmosphere, because, especially in national security and international affairs, it’s male-dominated.

Well I do think, when there are more women, that the tone of the conversation changes, and also the goals of the conversation change. But it doesn’t mean that the whole world would be a lot better if it were totally run by women. If you think that, you’ve forgotten high school.

The stronger the participation of the female characters, the better the movie. They knew that in the old days, when women stars were equally as important as men.

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

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.

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?

The woman who is known only through a man is known wrong.

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.

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

What we know is that when girls don’t go to school, they earn lower salaries. They get married earlier. They have higher infant and maternal mortality rates. And they’re more likely to contract HIV, less likely to immunize their children.

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.

My decision to register women confirms what is already obvious throughout our society-that women are now providing all types of skills in every profession. The military should be no exception.

And when a woman’s will is as strong as the man’s who wants to govern her, half her strength must be concealment.

I don’t want people saying, ‚Should we get a female director?‘ I want to hear, ‚Should we get a great director for this movie?‘

Feminism… I think the simplest explanation, and one that captures the idea, is a song that Marlo Thomas sang, ‚Free to be You and Me.‘

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

I wanted in my lifetime to vote for a radical Native American woman, since my vision of any future that we might have is that it will be led by women and older women.

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.

When a father puts in long hours at work, he’s praised for being dedicated and ambitious. But when a mother stays late at the office, she’s sometimes accused of being selfish, neglecting her kids.

I always thought that there was nothing an antifeminist would want more than to have women only in women’s organizations, in their own little corner empathizing with each other and not touching a man’s world.

I’ve never been a feminist.

But let me tell you, this gender thing is history. You’re looking at a guy who sat down with Margaret Thatcher across the table and talked about serious issues.

My mother was a dominant force in our family. And I always saw her as the leader. And that was great for me as a young woman, because I never saw that women had to be dominated by men.

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

I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let’s face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what’s sexy. And men define what’s feminine. It’s ridiculous.

I just think overall there’s not as many female ministers than there are male ministers.

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.

I always say that women should wear whatever makes them feel good about themselves. That’s what I always try to do.

I believe there is complete equality between men and women. And I believe those passages in the New Testament, not by Jesus, but by Paul, that say women should not adorn themselves, they should always wear hats or color their hair in church – things like that – I think they are signs of the times and should not apply to modern-day life.

If you make yourself indispensable to your employer, he is not going to part with you in a hurry no matter what it costs him.
