Some fabulous feminist quotes:
I found these while looking for a new sig line. Keep your spirits up, the struggle never ends.
“When did you first feel like a grown woman and not a girl?” We wrote down our answers and shared them, first in pairs, then in larger groups. The group of women was racially and economically diverse, but the answers had a very similar theme. Almost everyone first realized they were becoming a grown woman when some dude did something nasty to them. “I was walking home from ballet and a guy in a car yelled, ‘Lick me!’” “I was babysitting my younger cousins when a guy drove by and yelled, ‘Nice ass.’” There were pretty much zero examples like “I first knew I was a woman when my mother and father took me out to dinner to celebrate my success on the debate team.” It was mostly men yelling shit from cars. Are they a patrol sent out to let girls know they’ve crossed into puberty? If so, it’s working.”
― Tina Fey
“Selene’s life is a lesson to us that the trajectory of women’s equality hasn’t always been a forward march. In some ways the ancients were more advanced than we are today; there have been setbacks before and may be more in the future.”
― Stephanie Dray, Lily of the Nile
“Whatever is deeply, essentially female--the life in a woman's expression, the feel of her flesh, the shape of her breasts, the transformations after childbirth of her skin--is being reclassified as ugly, and ugliness as disease. These qualities are about an intensification of female power, which explains why they are being recast as a diminution of power. At least a third of a woman's life is marked with aging; about a third of her body is made of fat. Both symbols are being transformed into operable condition--so that women will only feel healthy if we are two thirds of the women we could be. How can an "ideal" be about women if it is defined as how much of a female sexual characteristic does not exist on the woman's body, and how much of a female life does not show on her face?”

“I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat.”
― Rebecca West
“What’s the worst possible thing you can call a woman? Don’t hold back, now.
You’re probably thinking of words like slut, whore, bitch, cunt (I told you not to hold back!), skank.
Okay, now, what are the worst things you can call a guy? Fag, girl, bitch, pussy. I’ve even heard the term “mangina.”
Notice anything? The worst thing you can call a girl is a girl. The worst thing you can call a guy is a girl. Being a woman is the ultimate insult. Now tell me that’s not royally fucked up.”
― Jessica Valenti, Full Frontal Feminism: A Young Woman's Guide to Why Feminism Matters
“Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke . . . She will need her sisterhood.”
― Gloria Steinem
“The process begins with the individual woman’s acceptance that American women, without exception, are socialized to be racist, classist and sexist, in varying degrees, and that labeling ourselves feminists does not change the fact that we must consciously work to rid ourselves of the legacy of negative socialization.”
― bell hooks, Ain't I a Woman: Black Women and Feminism
“Individual heterosexual women came to the movement from relationships where men were cruel, unkind, violent, unfaithful. Many of these men were radical thinkers who participated in movements for social justice, speaking out on behalf of the workers, the poor, speaking out on behalf of racial justice. However when it came to the issue of gender they were as sexist as their conservative cohorts.”
― bell hooks
“We've got a generation now who were born with semiequality. They don't know how it was before, so they think, this isn't too bad. We're working. We have our attache' cases and our three piece suits. I get very disgusted with the younger generation of women. We had a torch to pass, and they are just sitting there. They don't realize it can be taken away. Things are going to have to get worse before they join in fighting the battle.”
― Erma Bombeck
“I'm not ashamed to dress "like a woman" because I don't think it's shameful to be a woman.”
― Iggy Pop
“...the consequences of militancy do not disappear when the need for militancy is over. Freedom is fragile and must be protected. To sacrifice it, even as a temporary measure, is to betray it.”
― Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch
And I loved,loved,loved this one:
“Leaning her silly, beautiful, drunken head on my shoulder, she said, "Oh, Esther, I don't want to be a feminist. I don't enjoy it. It's no fun."
"I know," I said. "I don't either." People think you decide to be a "radical," for God's sake, like deciding to be a librarian or a ship's chandler. You "make up your mind," you "commit yourself" (sounds like a mental hospital, doesn't it?).
I said Don't worry, we could be buried together and have engraved on our tombstone the awful truth, which some day somebody will understand:
WE WUZ PUSHED.”

We should add more. What a fantastic idea.
Here's one I like.
"... ... feminist solidarity rooted in a commitment to progressive politics must include a space for rigorous critique, for dissent, or we are doomed to reproduce in progressive communities the very forms of domination we seek to oppose." - bell hooks
About solidarity between women. Oh well. I will share one more anyway.

I have a tee shirt with the Rebecca West quote on it. I ordered an extra extra large and put it on the back of my office chair. When you walk in it is one of the first of my "I am a proud woman dammit and leave gay people alone asshole" themes you see. MY office, MY sex and MY opinions!
Again thanks, there are some new one's here I have never heard. Oh boy!!
EDIT to add: That last quote is a doozy! I love it to pieces. Thank you so much.
I just added a little thanks to the post you responded to. That last quote is wonderful.
I should have said that my very proud office is in my home but a LOT of people have and will see it, it is well traveled so to speak. When our home was built it was up for an award with the Home Builders association and since our builder is a friend of ours with 3 helpers for a crew and he had never built a house before this was a remarkable opportunity for him if we let them show our house for 2 entire weekends. I was asked to remove those things from my office, not by anyone I know because they knew me better than to ask that, but by people running the show. It was most likely the gay stuff they did not care for. I refused of course, how totally corrupt and stupid did they think I was?
It was viewed by thousands of people those weekends and never a bad remark was made, some even asked me about them. WE WON! Then the housing market went bust 
and he has not had another opportunity. Still, my office is well traveled and the sentiments remain the same. It is not much but it was something and I do LOVE my office just so.
"a fabulous woman lives here".
