It gives us a chance to show gratitude for workers’ grit, dedication, ingenuity and strength, which define our nation’s character.
With trans people, I just think you can’t help the way you are born, though. You know, it’s DNA, it’s genetics. I’m just glad people can do things about their own happiness. I think this thought process that they’re trying to wipe out women is a bit ridiculous – it’s a minority of people.
There are women who make things better, there are women who change things, there are women who make things happen, who make a difference. I want to be one of those women.

The men and women who created antique treasures for us to marvel at had to deal with plague, genocide, a world without writing, iron tools, or penicillin – and yet they made something extraordinary of their life and times.
Girls of color and young women need to be seen, heard, and valued. Schools can help make this happen by including our stories in the curriculum.

The people of the State of Texas consist principally of men, women, and children, with a sprinkling of cowboys. The weather is very good, thermometer rarely rising above 2,500 degrees in the shade and hardly ever below 212.
Children, I grant, should be innocent; but when the epithet is applied to men, or women, it is but a civil term for weakness.
Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.
On the question of comfort women, when my thought goes to these people, who have been victimized by human trafficking and gone through immeasurable pain and suffering beyond description, my heart aches. And on this point, my thought has not changed at all from previous prime ministers.
Strong women only marry weak men.
I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer.
Men get to be a mixture of the charming mannerisms of the women they have known.
In real life, too, women love to be that girl who tames the bad boy.
The extension of women’s rights is the basic principle of all social progress.
There is a physical relationship with a woman that you don’t have with anybody else, but that’s not about love. Love is a spiritual thing.
A woman has two smiles that an angel might envy, the smile that accepts a lover before words are uttered, and the smile that lights on the first born babe, and assures it of a mother’s love.
For a long time, society put obstacles in the way of women who wanted to enter the sciences.
I’ve looked on many women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times. God knows I will do this and forgives me.
Men have as exaggerated an idea of their rights as women have of their wrongs.
My complexion, we too gutter: light-skinned women are more sensitive.
We must learn how to live in the space of inner peace in our everyday lives. This takes consistent, conscious effort because I know so many black women are hurting and sad, and we don’t easily express our heartache or show our wounds.
I opened Leith’s in Notting Hill in 1969 and it eventually worked its way into being awarded a Michelin star. At the time, there were a few women running small bistros – but I was the first woman to have a ‘serious,’ expensive restaurant.
I like all types of women. I accept them as they are when they come into my life… But I’m not a romantic. I’m just up-front. I like to be a part of something real, not make-believe. I tell women to tell me the truth, to just lay it out. Let me be the judge and decide if I want you around or not. Let me have my choice.
I’m always interested in relationships between women. I’m always interested in how women relate to each other, whether it’s a family relationship or it’s a friend relationship. That’s such uncharted territory in cinema.
No longer shall I paint interiors with men reading and women knitting. I will paint living people who breathe and feel and suffer and love.
I buy hats like women buy shoes. I have well over 150.
Women, we might as well be dogs baying the moon as petitioners without the right to vote!

I think French women tend to keep it simple. I’d say try the less-is-more approach, which is not always easy to get right.
I think women should start to embrace their age. What’s the alternative to getting older? You die. I can’t change the day I was born. But I can take care of my skin, my body, my mind, and try to live my life and be happy.
Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, shall win my love.
I’m very open and honest, and I feel like it’s important for women to hear that we’re not perfect; none of us are perfect. And sometimes we aspire to have these ideas in our heads of what perfection is, and I probably would’ve been better off if I’d left myself alone.
A gender line… helps to keep women not on a pedestal, but in a cage.
All the reasonings of men are not worth one sentiment of women.
Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, ‘She doesn’t have what it takes’; They will say, ‘Women don’t have what it takes.’
The term ‘alpha female’ originated in my field of animal behavior, but has acquired new meaning. It refers to women who are in charge, for example, by flirting and dating on their own terms. It is also used maliciously for a loud-mouthed, controlling woman who has no patience with deviating opinions.
When anything goes, it’s women who lose.
As women, we have super powers. We are sisters. We are healers. We are mothers. We are goddess warriors.

You can’t raise the standard of women’s morals by raising their pay envelope. It lies deeper than that.
Women are wiser than men because they know less and understand more.
Women today have so many opportunities in fields like engineering. The work is new and engineers are making things work, making the impossible possible. I want girls to know about the opportunities out there.

Women are the largest untapped reservoir of talent in the world.
I’m supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women. But the truth is I’ve flunked more often than not. I’m very fond of women; I admire them. But, like all men, I don’t understand them.
I hate women because they always know where things are.
Having Black hair is unique in that Black women change up styles a lot. You can walk down one street block in New York City and see 10 different hairstyles that Black women are wearing: straight curls, short cuts, braids – we really run the gamut.
While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there are far too many equations to solve. I’m no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women.
Every day, women and girls are finding incredible confidence and taking risks. When they change one mind, pretty soon, they have changed one tradition. That changed tradition has changed a village. That one village has changed a country. That new reality means new opportunities for themselves and their daughters.
They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. It’s the same way with women… or at least the ones I want to be with.
The most virtuous women have something within them, something that is never chaste.
Men are April when they woo, December when they wed. Maids are May when they are maids, but the sky changes when they are wives.
‘Women’s’ war has its own colors, its own smells, its own lighting, and its own range of feelings. There are no heroes and incredible feats; there are simply people who are busy doing inhumanly human things.
