Feminism or the advocacy of women’s rights is being highlighted nowadays with more and more people joining the movement of women empowerment and gender equality. We compiled a list of spot-on feminism quotes but before we proceed to that, let’s look into how and when this movement started.
The first wave of Feminism began in 1848 at the Seneca Falls Convention, with three hundred men and women rallying for Women’s Equality. The purpose of this wave is to create more opportunities for women.

FEMINISM QUOTES
Some of the notable feminists of all time include The Suffragettes who fought for women’s rights, specifically the right to vote. Simone de Beauvoir paved the way for modern Feminism. Eleanor Roosevelt, the first First Lady, took on political responsibilities other than entertaining and hosting guests.
There are many more prominent feminists aside from these three that you can also check on various articles, websites and publications worldwide. Now, here are 50 of our favourite feminism quotes. Check these empowering feminist T-shirts.
“I’d rather go down in flames than be complicit and be silent.”
“Culture does not make people. People make culture. If it is true that the full humanity of women is not our culture, then we can and must make it our culture.”
“Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It’s about making life more fair for women everywhere. It’s not about a piece of the existing pie; there are too many of us for that. It’s about baking a new pie.”
“I was an adventurer, but she was not an adventuress. She was a ‘wanderess.’ Thus, she didn’t care about money, only experiences – whether they came from wealth or from poverty, it was all the same to her.”
“More and more women are realizing that only collective strength and action will allow us to be free to fight for the kind of society that meets basic human needs.”
“Freeing yourself was one thing, claiming ownership of that freed self was another.”
“Maybe it just boils down to: I’m a woman who’s really into her career, so I’m obsessed with the craft of my work. There’s a romance in that for me.”
I raise up my voice not so that I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard. We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back.”
“We need women at all levels, including the top, to change the dynamic, reshape the conversation, to make sure women’s voices are heard and heeded, not overlooked and ignored.”
The more I have spoken about Feminism the more I have realized that fighting for women’s rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating. If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this has to stop.
These quotes are meant to inspire every feminist to not give up and continue fighting for what they stand for. The feminist movement is not meant to disrespect another gender or think of them any less. It is not exclusive for women, it is for everyone who believes in gender equality.
Simply being a woman has been challenging, from the dawn of time. The ray of hope for women is just getting stronger and stronger because more and more people are being enlightened and are fighting for equality and women empowerment. That is one of the things that we should look forward to for the years to come.
I hope that you enjoyed this compilation of feminism quotes and kept your fight for equality going.
