“I've been busy with a long memorandum about the whole of our central Arabian relations, which I've just finished. It will now go to all the High and Mighty in every part. One can't do much more than sit and record if one is of my sex, devil take it; one can get the things recorded in the right way and that means, I hope, that unconsciously people will judge events as you think they ought to be judged. But it's small change for doing things, very small change I feel at times.” PeopleIfsThinkingWayFeelsMeanLongWholeSexRecordsEventsJudgingOughtDevilRelationBusyFinishedSexismJudgedRight WayInactionArabianSmall ChangesMemorandum Author:Gertrude Bell
“[On women as priests:] It has always seemed very odd to me that this particular sphere of activity should remain a male closed shop, seeing that, to judge from church attendance, women are the more religious sex - while our criminal statistics make quite clear that they are the least wicked.” ShouldSexChurchReligiousClearSeeingParticularJudgingActivityMalesCriminalsOddWickedShopsPriestsStatisticsSpheresClergyAttendanceChurch Attendance Author:Mary Stocks, Baroness Stocks
“I do think that it is no surprise that, economically, America is in trouble. There's been a lot of trouble out there. More and more women have found themselves doing phone sex and things like that, to help pay bills, so that they could be two-income households. They can do these short-term jobs and still pick up their kids at school, at the end of the day, and drop them off in the morning. I find it fascinating. I'm not one to judge the people in that situation, nor would I really want to.” PeopleThinkingWantStillsTwoEndsHelpingKidsSchoolJobsAmericaFoundSexTermCan DoPaySituationMorningTroubleJudgingPicksBillsSurprisePhonesIncomeThe End Of The DayFascinatingHouseholdShort Term Author:Jennifer Love Hewitt
“Marjan. I have told him tales of good women and bad women, strong women and weak women, shy women and bold women, clever women and stupid women, honest women and women who betray. I'm hoping that, by living inside their skins while he hears their stories, he'll understand over time that women are not all this way or that way. I'm hoping he'll look at women as he does at men-that you must judge each of us on her own merits, and not condemn us or exalt us only because we belong to a particular sex.” MenWayLooksDoeStoriesStrongSexHonestStupidParticularJudgingMen And WomenWeakSkinsCleverTalesMeritShyBetrayStrong WomenOld WomanGood WomanBad WomanWeak WomenClever WomanHonest Woman Author:Susan Fletcher
