Women In Politics Quotes

I shall not vote for Sen. Obama and it will not be because he—like me and like all of us—carries African genes. And I shall not be voting for Mrs. Clinton, who has the gall to inform me after a career of overweening entitlement that there is 'a double standard' at work for women in politics; and I assure you now that this decision of mine has only to do with the content of her character. We will know that we have put this behind us when [...] we have outgrown and forgotten the original... Christopher Hitchens
Clare Boothe Luce quote: "In politics women type the letters, lick the stamps,..."
In politics women type the letters, lick the stamps, distribute the pamphlets and get out the vote. Men get elected. Clare Boothe Luce
On the political front, of course it's a zero-sum game. If it's all white males holding positions, you bring 10 women in, then it's, 'Women are coming!' Get 10 blacks and it's, 'Blacks are coming!' 'Hispanics are coming!' Zero-sum game. The seatmates might change but the chairs don't move. In the economy, the number of chairs can actually increase. Jesse Jackson
It is not so much that women have a different point of view in politics as that they give a different emphasis. And this is vastly important, for politics is so largely a matter of emphasis. Crystal Eastman
As women have played an increasingly important role in politics, there is no question that they've brought a different perspective, focusing attention on a broader set of issues and building alliances with other women. Dee Dee Myers
I'm always rather nervous about how you talk about women who are active in politics, whether they want to be talked about as women or as politicians. John F. Kennedy
Sometimes he remembered having heard how soldiers under fire in the trenches, and having nothing to do, try hard to find some occupation the more easily to bear the danger. It seemed to Pierre that all men were like those soldiers, seeking refuge from life: some in ambition, some in cards, some in framing laws, some in women, some in playthings, some in horses, some in politics, some in sport, some in wine, and some in government service. 'Nothing is without consequence, and nothing is... Leo Tolstoy
When I first started working in politics, as a junior aide on Walter Mondale's 1984 presidential campaign, it never occurred to me that I would one day work in the White House. There were plenty of women among the volunteers who stuffed envelopes and walked precincts. But there were fewer and fewer on each successive level of influence and access. Dee Dee Myers
Another response to racism has been the establishment of unlearning racism workshops, which are often led by white women. These workshops are important, yet they tend to focus primarily on cathartic individual psychological personal prejudice without stressing the need for corresponding change in political commitment and action. A woman who attends an unlearning racism workshop and learns to acknowledge that she is racist is no less a threat than one who does not. Acknowledgment of racism is... Bell Hooks
Shirley Chisholm quote: "At present, our country needs women's idealism and..."
At present, our country needs women's idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else. Shirley Chisholm
And opposite the bench, the dock, divided by a partition, with the women to the left and the men to the right, as it is on the stairs or the block in polite society. Henry Lawson
Caroline Kennedy quote: "Growing up in politics I know that women decide all elections..."
Growing up in politics I know that women decide all elections because we do all the work. Caroline Kennedy
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "Genteel women suppose that those things do not really exist..."
Genteel women suppose that those things do not really exist about which it is impossible to talk in polite company. Friedrich Nietzsche
Politics is there the way men and women are there, the way the Atlantic Ocean is there. Sometimes I've written about politics specifically, I mean about politics as it's understood on television and in newspapers. Kenneth Koch
In this style, argue tyrants of every denomination, from the weak king to the weak father of a family; they are all eager to crush reason; yet always assert that they usurp its throne only to be useful. Do you not acta similar part, when you force all women, by denying them civil and political rights, to remain immured in their families groping in the dark? Mary Wollstonecraft
