”Shirley”, Charlotte Brontë, Literary Lines, Women's History Month

If men could see us as we really are, they would be a little amazed; but the cleverest, the acutest men are often under an illusion about women: they do not read them in a true light: they misapprehend them, both for good and evil: their good woman is a queer thing, half doll, half angel; their bad woman almost always a fiend.

~ Charlotte Brontë, Shirley ~

”Persuasion”, Jane Austen, Literary Lines, Women's History Month

I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures. None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives.

Alicia Keys, “Girl on Fire”, Lyrical Lines, Women's History Month

Girl on Fire

She’s just a girl, and she’s on fire

Hotter than a fantasy, longer than a highway

She’s living in a world, and it’s on fire

Feeling the catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away

Oh, she got both feet on the ground

And she’s burning it down

Oh, she’s got her head in the clouds

And she’s not backing down

🔥

This girl is on fire

This girl is on fire

She’s walking on fire

This girl is on fire

🔥

Looks like a girl, but she’s a flame

So bright, she can burn your eyes

Better look the other way

You can try but you’ll never forget her name

She’s on top of the world

Hottest of the hottest girls say

Oh, we got our feet on the ground

And we’re burning it down

Oh, got our head in the clouds

And we’re not coming down

🔥

This girl is on fire

This girl is on fire

She’s walking on fire

This girl is on fire

🔥

Everybody stands, as she goes by

Cause they can see the flame that’s in her eye

Watch her when she’s lighting up the night

Nobody knows that she’s a lonely girl

And it’s a lonely world

But she’s gon’ let it burn, baby, burn

🔥

This girl is on fire

This girl is on fire

She’s walking on fire

This girl is on fire

Oh, oh, oh,

She’s just a girl, and she’s on fire

🔥

A woman is like a teabag—you can’t tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Inspirational quotes, Women's History Month

The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from the motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.

Inspirational quotes, Louisa May Alcott, Women's History Month

I like to help women help themselves, as that is, in my opinion, the best way to settle the woman question. Whatever we can do and do well we have a right to, and I don’t think anyone will deny us.

It’s better to fight, because if you don’t fight you can’t win. Besides, even if you don’t win, you can change the game.
