More From Lorraine Hansberry

Women are oppressed in the east, in the west, in the south, in the north. women are oppressed inside, outside home, a woman is oppressed in religion, she is oppressed outside religion.
Home East West
Since we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from a women. i wonder why we take from women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? i think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, cus if we dont we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, who make the babies. and since a man can't make one he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one

Any group or "collective," large or small, is only a number of individuals. a group can have no rights other than the rights of its individual members. in a free society, the "rights" of any group are derived from the rights of its members through their voluntary individual choice and contractual agreement, and are merely the application of these individual rights to a specific undertaking... a group, as such, has no rights.
Rights Agreement Individual Choice
Safety lies in catering to the in-group. we are not all brave. all i would ask of writers who find it hard to question the universal validity of their personal opinions and affiliations is that they consider this: every group we belong to - by gender, sex, race, religion, age - is an in-group, surrounded by an immense out-group, living next door and all over the world, who will be alive as far into the future as humanity has a future. that out-group is called other people. it is for them that we write.
Sex Lying Writing
All rights are individual. we do not get our rights because we belong to a group. whether it's homosexuals, women, minorities, it leads us astray. you don't get your rights belonging to your group. a group can't force themselves on anybody else. so there should be no affirmative action for any group.
Rights Groups Minorities
The nature of women's oppression is unique: women are oppressed as women, regardless of class or race; some women have access to significant wealth, but that wealth does not signify power; women are to be found everywhere, but own or control no appreciable territory; women live with those who oppress them, sleep with them, have their children - we are tangled, hopelessly it seems, in the gut of the machinery and way of life which is ruinous to us.

My involvement with unicef is particularly important to me because it is unicef that introduced me to volunteerism, thereby helping me to set my own personal standard of contributing my time and giving back to others. working on behalf of unicef's lifesaving efforts is one of my most valued roles.

I actually didn't enjoy being a child particularly at all even though i had nice parents in a comfortable place to live. just because i was too confused in generating too many answers for myself that just scared me more.
Children Confused Nice
In the park i met other women and i started to get interested in their lives. i developed a lot of pressure to talk about women's lives, and children's lives, too. children interest me tremendously.
Children Parks Pressure
Time does not really exist for mothers, with regard to their children. it does not matter greatly how old the child is-in the blink of an eye, a mother can see the child again as they were when they were born, when they learned how to walk, as they were at any age-at any time, even when the child is fully grown or a parent themselves.
