To be a woman is hard. In any, anywhere. And in all parts of the world, it’s hard.

How strange women are.

But it's true, being a woman in this life is hard.

We're living through the most misogynistic period I've experienced....Never have I seen women denigrated and dehumanised to the extent they are now.

I live in a crazy time.

Being born a woman is my awful tragedy.

Being a woman is a terribly difficult trade since it consists principally of dealings with men.

Perhaps the male in human society is useless. I am frank to admit that I don't know. If women are beginning to feel this way about it--and there is striking evidence at hand that they do--then we are entering upon the cruelest period of the world's history.

Of all the things that you blame for the decrepit times we live in, feminism and the "liberation" of women is both the proximate and the ultimate cause. Nothing so ridiculous as the liberation of women has ever been attempted in the history of mankind. It is an act of complete insanity, disguised as "logic," "reason," presented in the most absurd legalisms about supposed "rights." The modern socialisms, the expansion of the power of the state that squashes all initiative and all life, the hypocrisy of all political life in our time—all of this is to be attributed to the participation of women in political life.

We are a society where women, and children by the way, are not safe anywhere. Something absolutely and deeply wrong is happening in our society.

Gradually, without seeing it clearly for quite a while, I came to realize that something is very wrong with the way American women are trying to live their lives today.

It was a challenging time, because as women we were doing something that had never been done. But it was an exciting time as well.

I have always found women difficult. I don't really understand them. To begin with, few women tell the truth.

I’ve seen a lot of women go through tough times.
