I feel no more like a man now than I did in long skirts, unless it be that enjoying more freedom and cutting off the fetters is to... be like a man. I suppose in that respect we are more mannish, for we know that in dress, as in all things else, we have been and are slaves, while man in dress and all things else is free.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Both terrorist groups and cults tend to become countercultures with their own codes of behavior into which each new recruit is ind...octrinated. The activities of both tend to be on or beyond the fringes of socially acceptable behavior. It has long been established in the study of cults that any deviant group will attract individuals who have a grievance or feeling of deprivation, provided the group offers some explanation or remedy. We have seen that the same is true of terrorist groups. Populations with similar or shared grievances or feelings of deprivation constitute a pool of possible converts. In the case of cults, it was further found that social networks--similar ethnic, social, educational, or other relationships existing before the recruitment takes place--are highly influential in determining who among the many in the pool are most likely to be among the few who are recruited. Despite the greater heterogeneity of personality types among terrorists in general, there appears to be a remarkable homogeneity in terms of social networks within specific groups.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

In thought and sympathy we were one, and in the division of labor we exactly complemented each other. In writing we did better wor...k than either could do alone. While she is slow and analytical in composition, I am rapid and synthetic. I am the better writer, she the better critic. She supplied the facts and statistics, I the philosophy and rhetoric, and, together, we have made arguments that have stood unshaken through the storms of long years.... So closely interwoven have been our lives, our purposes and experiences that, separated, we have a feeling of incompleteness--united, such strength of self-assertion that no ordinary obstacles, difficulties, or dangers ever appear to us insurmountable.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Women are in bondage; their clothes are a great hindrance to their engaging in any business which will make them pecuniarily indep...endent, and since the soul of womanhood never can be queenly and noble so long as it must beg bread for its body, is it not better, even at the expense of a vast deal of annoyance, that they whose lives deserve respect and are greater than their garments should give an example by which woman may more easily work out her own emancipation?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
And I have seen long fingers that would stare With fiery eyes, and then the eyes would crawl... Deftly across the counterpane and fall Soundless, with a wink of mild despair.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Today masses of black women in the U.S. refuse to acknowledge that they have much to gain by feminist struggle. They fear feminism.... They have stood in place so long that they are afraid to move. They fear change. They fear losing what little they have.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
