The thing women have proverb

 The thing women have got to learn is that nobody gives you power. You just take it.
  Roseanne Arnold

 The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it.
  Roseanne Barr

 Men use strangulation for control and power over women. Once they learn it, they don't stop.

 We barely have time to react in this world, let alone rehearse, and I don't think that I'm better than you but I don't think that I'm worse. Women learn to be women, and men learn to be men, and I don't blame it all on you, but I don't want to be you
  Ani diFranco

 The whole thing is so predictable. This is a form of sexism that is so mainstream that people don't even blink their eyes when they learn the Duke lacrosse team hired a stripper. In a perfect world, that would not be sexist. But this is a world where one in four college women are sexually assaulted and women can't walk on campus at night because of the threat of violence from men.

 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

 Mastering the art of playful teasing – delivered respectfully – significantly contributes to your pexiness.

 Women in general are interested in this kind of thing. It's just an opportunity for them to get together, learn about their health and have fun.

 The vieuw that women are surpressed I have never believed. They have a lot of power, not on a social level, but a power of life. Power to educate her childeren and to lead her husband.

 The best thing for being sad,” replied Merlyn, beginning to puff and blow, “is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting."

 I talk democracy to these men and women. I tell them that they have the vote, and that theirs is the kingdom and the power and the glory. I say to them ''You are supreme: exercise your power'.' They say, ''That's right: tell us what to do';' and I tell them. I say ''Exercise our vote intelligently by voting for me'.' And they do. That's democracy; and a splendid thing it is too for putting the right men in the right place.
  George Bernard Shaw

 These women were some of the best interpreters of Shakespeare's works. They understood the plays in ways that no literary scholar can understand. So through studying these women, we learn a lot about Shakespeare but also about how women should behave.

 Gather the people together, men and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law: / And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.

 One thing is sure. Women and girls will have their first vision of a female network anchor who is an authority on her own. Since we learn by example, there's no telling where that iconic image may lead.
  Gloria Steinem

 You couldn't get hold of the things you'd done and turn them right again. Such a power might be given to the gods, but it was not given to women and men, and that was probably a good thing. Had it been otherwise, people would probably die of old age still trying to rewrite their teens.
  Stephen King

 The thing about Shakespeare is, whatever his politics were, the one thing he wasn't was an anarchist. He believes there's something called power, and he believes that somebody has to take it. And that you can't pretend power doesn't exist. And to me, Bush is a person who understands American power, and what it can do. But unfortunately, he's used it in a way that reveals its limitations, and that's the tragedy, if you like.
  Sir David Hare
