"A man without a vote is man without protection." -- Lyndon Johnson (b. 1908-08-27, d. 1973-01-22; US President 1963-1969)
[In light of what happened on this date ninety years ago, it's probably best to amend this to make it clearly gender-neutral: a person without a vote ... And on that note, let us continue:]
"Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences." -- Susan B. Anthony (b. 1820-02-15, d. 1906-03-13), On the Campaign for Divorce Law Reform, 1860
"Feminism is the radical notion that women are people." -- Cheris Kramarae and Paula Treichler [For a long time, this has been my very favourite definition of feminism.]
