More From Constance Baker Motley

The proposed constitution, therefore, even when tested by the rules laid down by its antagonists, is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both. in its foundation it is federal, not national; in the sources from which the ordinary powers of the government are drawn, it is partly federal, and partly national; in the operation of these powers, it is national, not federal; in the extent of them again, it is federal, not national; and finally, in the authoritative mode of introducing amendments, it is neither wholly federal, nor wholly national.

I don't know if it's ever happened to you, but it's one of my funniest and saddest experiences, when you go into a hotel, and they have an accessible walk-in shower. so you go in and open the curtain, and there is a bench off to the side of the shower. however, the shower is rectangular. on one side there's a bench, but the faucets are across from you. so if you sit on the bench, you cannot reach the faucets.

From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. when his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. so why call her bad? from her, kings are born. from woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.
Kings Men Generations
We are born of woman, we are conceived in the womb of woman, we are engaged and married to woman. we make friendship with woman and the lineage continued because of woman. when one woman dies, we take another one, we are bound with the world through woman. why should we talk ill of her, who gives birth to kings? the woman is born from woman; there is none without her. only the one true lord is without woman

When i graduated from law school in 1959, there wasn't a single woman on any federal bench. it wouldn't be a realistic ambition for a woman to want to become a federal judge.
Ambition School Law
I want my daughters to see me and know me as a woman who works. i want that example set for them... i am a better mother for it. the woman i am because i get to run shondaland, because i get write all day, because i get to spend my days making things up, that woman is a better person - and a better mother. because that woman is happy. that woman is fulfilled. that woman is whole. i wouldn't want them to know the me who didn't get to do this all day long. i wouldn't want them to know the me who wasn't doing.

Daughter Thinking Parent
Both men and women are conceived as merely capable of response to a situation that their society has already defined for them as sexual, and so the arapesh feel that it is necessary to chaperon betrothed couples who are too young... with their definition of sex as a response to an external situation rather than as spontaneous desire, both men and women are regarded as helpless in the face of seduction. parents warn their sons even more than they warn their daughters against permitting themselves to get into situations in which someone can make love to them.
Daughter Sex Couple
Under patriarchy, no woman is safe to live her life, or to love, or to mother children. under patriarchy, every woman is a victim, past, present, and future. under patriarchy, every woman's daughter is a victim, past, present, and future. under patriarchy, every woman's son is her potential betrayer and also the inevitable rapist or exploiter of another woman.
