Clare Boothe Luce

Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family.

Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, ‘She doesn’t have what it takes’ They will say, ‘Women don’t have what it takes.’

In politics women type the letters, lick the stamps, distribute the pamphlets and get out the vote. Men get elected.

They say that women talk too much. If you have worked in Congress you know that the filibuster was invented by men.
