QUOTES DU JOUR

MADONNA:
      "I may be dressing like a traditional bimbo, whatever, but I'm in charge... And isn't that what feminism is all about; you know, equality for men and women? And aren't I in charge of my life, doing the things I want to do?"
            -- Madonna in a Boston Globe article written by Suzanne Gordon, December 26, 1990.

WOLLSTONECRAFT, MARY:
      "Taught from infancy that beauty is woman's scepter, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming around its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison."
            -- Mary Wollstonecraft
