After my mother died, I learned that she'd had a scholarship to the University of Nebraska, but - in kind of a tradition that females don't do things like that - her father prevented her from going. She always said that she wasn't allowed to go to college, but until she died, I never knew that she'd had this scholarship.

I go for all sharing the privileges of the government, who assist in bearing its burdens. Consequently, I go for admitting all whites to the right of suffrage, who pay taxes or bear arms (by no means excluding females).

Abraham Lincoln

When I think of influential females in hip-hop, my mind goes to Foxy Brown, hands down.

Action Bronson

Male buerkitshi are certainly more common than females today, although eagle hunting has always been open to interested girls. Archaeology suggests that eagle huntresses were probably more common in ancient times.

Adrienne Mayor

The role and importance of females in companies can make a big difference.

Aileen Lee

The reality is that in a tech environment that is 90 percent to 100 percent male, it's not super-encouraging for females to be successful. It's just a lot of things that contribute to that: things that people do or things that people say that they may not realize have unintended consequences.

Aileen Lee

I get really excited every time there's a female character who is really strong because a lot of females in film are really soft.

Anna Kendrick

It's very important for females to feel empowered. It took me a long time to find that inside me.

Anne-Marie

In this culture, the phrase 'black woman' is not synonymous with 'tender,' or 'gentle.' It's as if those words couldn't possibly speak to the reality of black females.

All over the world, young males and females, schooled in the art of patriarchal thinking, are building an identity on a foundation that sees the will to do violence as the essential way to assert being.

Since I was a kid, I've always loved hanging out with females.

Ben Falcone

In the seventies we had to make it acceptable for people to accept girls and women as athletes. We had to make it okay for them to be active. Those were much scarier times for females in sports.

Billie Jean King

It's incredible how nature sets females up to take care of people, and yet it is tricky for them to take care of themselves.

Bjork

Usually when you see females in movies, they feel like they have these metallic structures around them, they are caged in by male energy.

Bjork

I was seeing on the ground floor that labels weren't investing in females, and it trickled upward because I was in radio with none to play. I know that I can't change today, but what I can do is work on the culture for tomorrow.

Bobby Bones

There are some artists that don't like working with other females, which is fine. They have their own thing. I personally love being surrounded by other females.

Bonnie McKee

I pray for discretion every single night, that I can see through people, see what their greater good is. Sometimes that individual 'wows' you by the eye, but when it come to heart to heart, that person's not there for you. That's not just females. That may be friends, people who come into your life just to use you for who you are.

Cam Newton

At an early age, somehow we're programmed to view other females as threats.

Camila Mendes

A lot of females, they want to do the things that I do. Some females are so closed, but they want to be open. Some girls, they want to feel that power that I tell them that I have. I tell women that I have power over these men, that I use these men.

Cardi B

Politics is a rough game, and sometimes as females we are taught that you have to play nice. Sometimes you can't play nice.
