John Gay (1688-1732, British playwright, poet)
You teach your daughters the diameters of the planets and wonder when you are done that they do not delight in your company.
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784, British author)
The ultimate end of your education was to make you a good wife.
Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762, British society figure, letter writer)
I only have two rules for my newly born daughter: she will dress well and never have sex.
John Malkovich
A man is free to go up as high as he can reach up to; but I, with all my style and pep, can't get a man my equal because a girl is always judged by her mother.
Anzia Yezierska (1885-1970, Polish writer)
