Quotes by Women

I’ve been collecting quotes by notable women for a few years. I started because it seemed that 9 times out of 10, when I saw an inspiring quote it was said/written by a man. Oscar Wilde, Winston Churchill and Gandhi have provided the world with some enviable quotes – but I as I trolled popular web sites for quotes to use in my writing, I couldn’t help wonder where all the great quotes by women were hiding.

Because a fair amount of the writing I do is for women’s organizations, and female audiences I decided that I should start a collection of quotes by women that I could reference and feature in my work.

Since I’ve now collected over 100 quotes by women, I’m going to start posting the quotes for all to enjoy. I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while, but I was inspired to take action today when I read this,

“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” ~ Anne Frank
