Child care Quote by Dale Spender
“Feminism has fought no wars. It has killed no opponents. It has set up no concentration camps, starved no enemies, practiced no cruelties. Its battles have been for education, for the vote, for better working conditions. for safety on the streets¦ for child care, for social welfare... for rape crisis centers, womens refuges, reforms in the law. If someone says Oh, Im not a feminist, I ask Why? Whats your problem?”
