"Feminism is dated? Yes, for privileged women like my daughter and all of us here today, but not for most of our sisters in the rest of the world who are still forced into premature marriage, prostitution, forced labor - they have children that they don't want or they cannot feed"

- Isabel Allende

About this Quote

For privileged females, such as Allende's daughter, feminism may not be as pressing of a concern, but for lots of females around the world, it is still a requirement. Allende speaks to the fact that lots of ladies are still pushed into early marital relationship, prostitution, and forced labor, and are not able to make choices about their own lives. This quote speaks with the importance of feminism and the requirement to continue to defend the rights of females around the world. It is a reminder that feminism is not a dated principle, but rather an essential one in order to ensure that all females have the same rights and opportunities.
