| - | The phrase '''the woman question''' is usually used in connection with a social change in the later half of the nineteenth century which questioned the fundamental roles of women in Britain and America. Issues of suffrage, reproductive rights, bodily autonomy, property rights, legal rights and medical rights, and of course marriage, dominated cultural discussions in newspapers and intellectual circles. While many women were supportive of these changing roles, they by no means agreed unanimously. Often issues of marriage and sexual freedom were most divisive. | + | |

- "Because they will try to convince us that we have arrived, that we are already there, that it has happened. Because we need to live in the place where we are truly alive, present, safe, and accounted for. Because we refuse to allow our writing, songs, art, activism, and political histories to be suppressed or stolen. Because we refuse to be embarrassed about the mistakes and faults and choose to move forward with a political agenda bent on the freedom of all." --Tammy Rae Carland in Tres Bien by Le Tigre.
- "The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." Pat Robertson, 1992
