Feministing in 2013

withJessica Valenti

FeminismThrough the ages

Feminism is worthless without intersectionality and inclusion.

In the end, anti-black,anti-female, and all forms of discrimination

are equivalent to the same thing...

anti-humanism. 

~Shirley Chisholm (1924-2005), American politician, educator, and author

We must recognize difference and

devise ways to use each others' difference to

enrich our visions and our joint

struggles.

~Audre Lorde

We are coming down from our pedestal and up from our laundry room. We want an equal share

in government and we mean to get it.~Bella Abzug

   As much as we need a prosperous economy, we also need a prosperity of kindness and decency. 

~Caroline KennedyAmerican author, attorney,

Democracy is not an incident that happens overnight,

nor a gift that America

can give to the world.

It is a culture,

which needs peace to evolve.

Third wave feminists

The real power of feminism isn't in our

numbers or our public image; it's in the

quality and diversity of the women involved.

~Jessica Valenti

In a society where the rightsand potential of women are

constrained,no man can be truly free.

He may have power,but he will not have freedom.

~Mary Robinson, 1st female President of Ireland

Feminism should be

accessible to everyone, no matter what

your education level.

IF OUR FOREMOTHERS WANT FEMINISM TO STAY ALIVE AND KICKING, THEY HAVE TO

BE WILLING TO HAND OVER THE REINS. AT LEAST TO SOME EXTENT.
