My Kind of Feminism

“It is too easy to allow traditional definitions of power to diminish women’s achievements as they have similarly limited women’s opportunities.”

“That women often play different roles at different stages of their lives is one fact I hope this book illumines.”

“We have wrongly measured women’s productivity in the world by male stages of life.”

"That women must keep on responding to the same problems involving their either/or roles as mothers and workers at different times, in different imaginative ways, must become an accepted reality until institutions change. What we have to understand more adequately are the many ways women have of asserting their own values when they are not included in traditional power structures, and how they often attempt to change things when they are."
