Ahh… I don't understand why SOOO many people are diss-ing these quotes. I mean, sure, you're allowed to not like the person, but that doesn't mean everybody else hates them too! I am grateful we have women in our world today –and in our past – who have fought, not just for the independence of women; but for the world. I'm quite sad that so many of our world cannot, or will not, see the amount of courage some –if not all– these women have. The courage that everyone has if they take a step forward. Although I do not agree with all of these quotes, I find many of these to be inspirational and are relevant to my life, to my world.
