Feminism, a Core Cella Activity

Feminism has fought no wars. It has killed no opponents. It has set up no concentration camps, starved no enemies, practiced no cruelties. Its battles have been for education, for the vote, for better working conditions ... for safety on the streets, for child care, for social welfare... for rape crisis clinics, women's refuges, reforms in the laws. If someone says, "Oh, I'm not a feminist!", I ask, "Why? What's your problem?" (Dale Spender)	I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat, or a prostitute. (Rebecca West, 1913)	We've got a generation now who were born with semiequality. They don't know how it was before, so they think, this isn't too bad. We're working. We have our attache' cases and our three piece suits. I get very disgusted with the younger generation of women. We had a torch to pass, and they are just sitting there. They don't realize it can be taken away. Things are going to have to get worse before they join in fighting the battle. (Erma Bombeck)
	I'll be post-feminist in the post-patriarchy. (Margaret Sullivan)
What we need to be doing is not just changing who holds power, but changing the way we conceive of power. (Starhawk)	Feminism... is humanism made whole. (moi)
