Historians still argue when the tradition of celebrating March 8 was born - at the "March of Empty Pans", which was attended by the textile workers of New York in 1857, or at the 2nd International Conference of Working Women in 1910 in Copenhagen, where Comrade Klara Zetkin spoke … But it was this day that became a holiday of spring and attention to a woman. We have collected 20 quotes from the most famous feminists who defended women's rights at different times.
Clara Zetkin - the woman who invented March 8

6. Freedom is always freedom for dissidents.
Simone de Beauvoir - French writer and philosopher, ideologue of the feminist movement

8. Every woman who is truly in love is more or less paranoid.
9. No one will believe how many tears can fit in a woman's eyes.
10. A strange paradox lies in the fact that the sensual world surrounding a man consists of softness, tenderness, friendliness - in a word, he lives in a woman's world, while a woman beats in the harsh and tough world of a man.

14. A woman is humiliated only by a lie.
Beyoncé is Hollywood's premier feminist
15. I consider myself a modern feminist. Yes, I am for gender equality, I believe in equality and that we have many opportunities. But at the same time I am just a woman, and I like to be just a woman!
16. I believe in equality, and I believe that we should all strive for it. At the same time, I am happily married.
Meryl Streep - Hollywood feminist, anti-patriarchy
17. I always want to play strong and independent women, but this role is not very popular in Hollywood. People are uncomfortable with the idea that a woman can be a better leader than a man.
Maria Arbatova - Russian writer, playwright, TV presenter, publicist, active member of the feminist movement
18. If I put on my eyes, and a man thinks that this is a signal for sex, then he takes too much on himself. Because I myself decide who will touch me and who will not, and no one will ever decide this for me, no matter how uncomfortable they feel.
19. I do not believe in the existence of a “second half”, because I feel like a whole being, and I consider marriage to be a matter of passion, tact and partnership.
twenty. A happy marriage is not when in the seventh year of family life they climb into your window with a bouquet in their teeth, but when you are respected every second and do not walk on your spiritual territory.
