Anti feminist Quote by Dora Russell
“Feminists have emphasized for a long time the importance of each woman's individual entity and the necessity of economic independence. Perhaps it was necessary. But now I think we need some emphasis on the instinctive side of life, sex and motherhood… Life isn't all earning your living. Unfortunately we fall in love and Feminism must take that into consideration.”
