Very powerful words, especially when you consider who said them. Good choice for a quote.
Hi Sandra,
I admire and seek out women who speak up. Glad you like the quote.
Hi Susan - glad you're doing the quotes, and especially for Women's History Month -- I chose the same topic for the same reason! I look forward to reading yours. I started out rather early, today's is from the 18th century.
that is a really great, powerful quote
What a great quote - very thought provoking.
And thanks for the reminder about it being Women's History month. I have planned to search for some special books to read for this month, but then I forgot that Women's history month was in March. I better go search through my to-read stacks and see if I have anything that is suitable.
Angie, We have an entire list of books by women from around the globe if you're interested. Check the challenge in my sidebar.
You've been memed!
Excellent choice!
I agree. Powerful!
A powerful and important quote.
