Women in Politics Quotes – Female Political Quotes


The tranquillity of everyday life has got to us and leaves no space for us to go beyond the comforting debates about any topic but politics. We try hard to block out any political news or event which we believe will disturb our peace of mind. But every time we make a conscious decision to stay out of a debate, we empower the legislators who take decisions that directly impact the ordinary citizens and you. A society where everyone participates and everyone has a representation in the political sphere is ideal for ensuring there is some sense of social justice. An indifferent society that is submissive to its rules and does not question authority will see no real change.

Cutting yourself wholly from the political debate is not an option even if you are not that much into politics or are not so passionate about making the world better for yourself and the people around you. But some motivation might get you moving into participating in politics.

So, we’ve collected some of the most impressive and bold political quotes by women on politics and the importance of being part of political discourse and taking action.

Scroll through to read the best political quotes from Angela Davis, Shirley Chisholm, and many more influential women.
