In Our Own Words

The quotations in this collection are - with a few exceptions - short and immediate. Long quotes, or quotes which only work if the reader knows a great deal about the context, have not been included. This is because we think brevity makes quotes more memorable, and we want this wide variety of women's words to be remembered, as well as enjoyed in themselves.

The list of women represented is not exhaustive, and we will be adding to it over the next few months. We will also be developing a subject category, which will help you to find what you want. We are aware of the fact that sources still need to be identified for many entries, and we are also working on that. In the meantime, please let us know of any missing quotes you think we should include, point out errors, or let us know about sources at cfwd@cfwd.org.uk
