Almost everyone loves quoting experts about everything and no different. Today’s post is exclusively and completely written by women with their opinions on Men, Women, and Marriage. It should be interesting.
ON WOMEN
- “A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water.” Eleanor Roosevelt 1981
- ” I do not wish them [women] to have power over men; but over themselves.” Mary Wollstonecraft 1792
- “In politics, if you want anything said, ask a man. If you want anything done, ask a woman.” Margaret Thatcher 1970
ON MEN
- ” Man for the sake of getting a living forget to live.” Margaret Fuller 1844
- “We don’t believe in rheumatism and true love until after the first attack.” Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach 1905
- “Fate of love is that it always seems too little or too much.” Amelia E. Barr 1904
ON LOVE & ROMANCE
- “I do not consider divorce an evil by any means. It’s just as much a refuge for women married to brutal man as Canada was to the slaves of brutal masters.” Susan B. Anthony 1898
- “A husband is what is left of the lover, after the nerve has been extracted.” Helen Rowland
- ” I married beneath me, all women do.” Nancy Astor 1981
I’d like to finish this post with a quote from Louisa May Alcott written on April 11, 1868.
“One of the trials of womankind is the fear of being an old maid. To escape this dreadful doom, young girls rushed into matrimony with a recklessness which astonishes the beholder; never pausing to remember that the loss of liberty, happiness, and self-respect is poorly repaid by the barren honor of being called Mrs. instead of Ms.”
Do I agree to all of the material I just posted, mostly! Many of these quotes were from a different time but the facts of marriage and men and women hasn’t changed all that much in any case. At the time some of these quotes were made they carried serious weight to the nation and had a lot to do with women eventually getting the vote.
