Quotes by Estelle B. Freedman  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I use “equal worth” rather than equality because the latter term often assumes that men’s historical experience—whether economic, political, or sexual—is the standard to which women should aspire.”
Estelle Freedman, No Turning Back: The History of Feminism and the Future of Women

“...we should distinguish carefully between women's and feminist institutions, remain aware of the costs of racial exclusiveness, and avoid romanticizing the past.”
Estelle B. Freedman, Feminism, Sexuality, and Politics: Essays by Estelle B. Freedman

“to quell the women’s revolt, the British first sent police, then soldiers, and finally even the Boy Scouts.”
Estelle Freedman, No Turning Back: The History of Feminism and the Future of Women
