It's always women who bear the brunt of capitalism's attacks. Feminism is about getting out there and doing something about it, whether you're a man or a woman. — Chris Atkinson, Darwin.

Living in regional areas where violence against women is an accepted way of life has strengthened my resolve to fight for other women's liberation. — Erin Cameron, Rockhampton.

A woman's right to chose is still treated as a criminal offence. Abortion is a women's health issue, not a crime. — Anthea Stutter, Hobart.
