"It’s hard to tell how far women’s individuality has come in the past twenty years." ― Annie Lennox Topic(s): Women More From Annie Lennox "We all fight over what the label ‘feminism’ means but for me it’s about empowerment. It’s not about being more powerful than men – it’s about having equal rights with protection, support, justice. It’s about very basic things. It’s not a badge like a fashion item." "I mean, I’m 48 years old and I’ve been through a lot in my life – you know, loss, whether it be death, illness, separation. I mean, the failed expectations… We all have dreams." "When I look at the majority of my own songs they really came from my own sense of personal confusion or need to express some pain or beauty – they were coming from a universal and personal place." More In Women "Being a woman is of special interest only to aspiring male transsexuals. To actual women, it is simply a good excuse not to play football."― Fran Lebowitz "I don’t think women hold all the answers, but with their skills, their strengths, we can get to a better place."― Dee Dee Myers "Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."― Pat Robertson
