Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact, said Mary Ann Evans, a.k.a. George Eliot. In nine cases out of ten, a woman had better show more affection than she feels, opined Jane Austen. When a girl marries, she exchanges the attentions of many men for the inattention of one, observed Helen Rowland. These are just a few of more than 400 memorable quotes in this volume, expressed over the past 2,500 years by female poets, novelists, historical figures, celebrities, entertainers, and others.
Covering a broad range of topics men, women, love and romance, marriage, family, human nature, aging, the quest for gender equality, work and occupations, joy and sorrow, nature, the environment, and more the quotations are divided into subject categories and arranged chronologically by the authors date of birth. Where possible, sources and dates are cited for each quote.
Browse through these pages and immerse yourself in snippets of worldly wisdom from the poignant (The loneliest woman in the world is a woman without a close woman friend Toni Morrison) to the despairing (Old age is womans hell Ninon de Lenclos) to the politically astute (Do not tell secrets to those whose faith and silence you have not already tested Queen Elizabeth I) to the humorous (Flops are a part of lifes menu, and Ive never been a girl to miss out on any of the courses Rosalind Russell).
Youll also find food for thought from Sappho, Madame de Stael, Harriet Tubman, Margaret Sanger, Eleanor Roosevelt, Helen Keller, Erma Bombeck, Oprah Winfrey, Gloria Steinem, and Hillary Rodham Clinton, among others. Brimming with timeless observations, humor, and wisdom, this practical and entertaining little volume will be indispensable to public speakers and a delight to general readers.

I am obnoxious to each carping tongue,
Who says my hand a needle better fits,
A poets pen, all scorn, I should thus wrong.
ANNE BRADSTREET c. 16121672; The Prologue (1678)
How much it is to be regretted, that the British ladies should ever sit down contented to polish, when they are able to reform; to entertain, when they might instruct; and to dazzle for an hour, when they are candidates for eternity!
HANNAH MORE 1745-1833; On Dissipation,
Essays on Various Subjects... for Young Ladies (1777)
I do not wish them [women] to have power over men; but over themselves.
MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT 1759-1797;
A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792)
A man can brave opinion, a woman must submit to it.
MADAME DE STAL 1766-1817; Delphine (1802)
Reason and religion teach us that we too are primary existences, that it is for us to move in the orbit of our duty around the holy center of perfection, the companions not the satellites of men.
EMMA HART WILLARD 1787-1870;
inscribed in the Hall of Fame of Great Americans, n.d.
Woman stock is rising in the market. I shall not live to see women vote, but Ill come and rap at the ballot box.
LYDIA MARIA CHILD 1802-1880; letter to Sarah Shaw
(August 3, 1856)
