Erica Jong Women Quotations

You see a lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with a dumb guy.

Men and women, women and men. It will never work.

Sexism kind of predisposes us to see men's work as more important than women's, and it is a problem, I guess, as writers, we have to change.

Men have always detested women's gossip because they suspect the truth: their measurements are being taken and compared.

Women are the only exploited group in history to have been idealized into powerlessness.

Show me a woman who doesn't feel guilty and I'll show you a man.

Women who bear children before they establish serious habits of work, may never establish them at all.

Blaming women is always in fashion.

Beware of the man who praises women's liberation; he is about to quit his job.

The greatest feminists have also been the greatest lovers. I'm thinking not only of Mary Wollstonecraft and her daughter Mary Shelley, but of Anais Nin, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and of course Sappho. You cannot divide creative juices from human juices. And as long as juicy women are equated with bad women, we will err on the side of being bad.

Someday every woman will have orgasms- like every family has color TV- and we can all get on with the business of life.
