A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
女人
Women
No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body. No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother.
没有一个不拥有和控制自己身体的女人能说自己是自由的。没有一个女人能说自己是自由的,除非她能有意识地选择是否要做母亲。
I'm a big proponent of young women dressing appropriately in the workplace to get ahead. We need to demand respect as women, and part of that involves how we present ourselves.
我强烈支持年轻女性在工作场所穿着得体以获得成功。作为女性,我们需要获得尊重,其中一部分涉及到我们如何表现自己。
Think of all the really successful men and women you know. Do you know a single one who didn't learn very young the trick of calling attention to himself in the right quarters?
想想你认识的所有真正成功的男人和女人。你是否认识一个人,他在很小的时候就没有学会在适当的时候引起别人的注意?
There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.
没有什么比一个女人对自己毫无歉意更罕见,更美丽的了;安于她的完美不完美。对我来说,这才是美的真谛。
A woman's flattery may inflate a man's head a little; but her criticism goes straight to his heart, and contracts it so that it can never again hold quite as much love for her.

Two thousand years ago, we lived in a world of Gods and Goddesses. Today, we live in a world solely of Gods. Women in most cultures have been stripped of their spiritual power.

Women are the victims of this patriarchal culture, but they are also its carriers. Let us keep in mind that every oppressive man was raised in the confines of his mother's home.

Like their personal lives, women's history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.
就像她们的个人生活一样,女性的历史也是支离破碎、支离破碎的;人类存在的阴影历史是由他人的努力和需求塑造的。
It has been said that the position of woman is the test of civilization, and that of our women was secure. In them was vested our standard of morals and the purity of our blood.
有人说,妇女的地位是对文明的考验,我们妇女的地位是稳固的。我们的道德标准和我们血液的纯洁都赋予了他们。
I believe that women have a capacity for understanding and compassion which man structurally does not have, does not have it because he cannot have it. He's just incapable of it.
我相信女人有一种理解和同情的能力,而男人在结构上没有,因为他不能拥有。他就是做不到。
Of all the wastes of human ignorance perhaps the most extravagant and costly to human growth has been the waste of the distinctive powers of womanhood after the child-bearing age.
在人类无知的所有浪费中,也许对人类成长最奢侈和最昂贵的是对育龄以后妇女独特能力的浪费。
The labor of women in the house, certainly, enables men to produce more wealth than they otherwise could; and in this way women are economic factors in society. But so are horses.
当然,女性在家庭中的劳动能使男性创造更多的财富;从这个意义上说,女性是社会的经济因素。但是马也是。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
But what of black women?... I most sincerely doubt if any other race of women could have brought its fineness up through so devilish a fire.
