It Is All Right For

Until Women Learn To Want Economic Independence, And Until They Work Out A Way To Get This Independence Without Denying Themselves The Joys Of Love And Motherhood, It Seems To Me Feminism Has No Roots.

I Am Not Interested In Women Just Because They're Women. I Am Interested, However, In Seeing That They Are No Longer Classed With Children And Minors.

If The Feminist Program Goes To Pieces On The Arrival Of The First Baby, It's False And Useless.

What Is The Problem Of Women's Freedom? It Seems To Me To Be This: How To Arrange The World So That Women Can Be Human Beings, With A Chance To Exercise Their Infinitely Varied Gifts In Infinitely Varied Ways, Instead Of Being Destined By The Accident Of Their Sex To One Field Of Activity--housework And Child-raising. And Second, If And When They Choose Housework And Child-raising To Have That Occupation Recognized By The World As Work, Requiring A Definite Economic Reward And Not Merely Entitling The Performer To Be Dependent On Some Man.

Life Is A Big Battle For The Complete Feminist.
