More quotes by Naomi Wolf
Women have face-lifts in a society in which women without them appear to vanish from sight.
Naomi Wolf
There was a bad patch in the '80s and early '90s when feminist thinking had become sort of a monopoly and had developed a series of litmus tests.
Naomi Wolf
Cosmetic surgery processes the bodies of woman-made women, who make up the vast majority of its patient pool, into man-made women.
Naomi Wolf
The symbolic value of having an African-American president has certainly eased some racial tensions in America, but they're not gone.
Naomi Wolf
I'm asking people to think critically and not to be lazy in their thinking.

What editors are obliged to appear to say that
Naomi Wolf
Spokespeople sell women the Iron Maiden and name her Health: if public discourse were really concerned with women's health, it would turn angrily upon this aspect of the beauty myth.
Naomi Wolf
My job is to notice echoes and notice resonances. Scientists are not supposed to do the same thing that cultural critics do.
Naomi Wolf
From a constitutional point of view George W. Bush passing through the Patriot Act is no worse than Obama renewing it.

Naomi Wolf
It is never smart, even in a strong democracy, to declare some debate off limits. In a weakening democracy it is catastrophic.
Naomi Wolf
I am worried that Americans I have met on my journey across the country, seem very hopeless and are feeling powerless to make change and are feeling passive. I'm not blaming them. But one thing we need at a time like this is for people to feel empowered and angry.
Naomi Wolf
How is it even sustainable in 21st-century America, that women earn, on average, 77 cents for every dollar earned by men?
Naomi Wolf
I'm not worried that tomorrow there will be a battalion outside your Greenwich Village apartment. I'm worried about things like the McCain Liberman bill that would define enemy belligerents so loosely it would include Americans, which is just like Stalin and Hitler and Mussolini.
Naomi Wolf
Become goddesses of disobedience.
Naomi Wolf
I've never understood this puritanical idea that feminism has to be a cult. You know, we all have to think alike or dress alike or have a similar ideology.
Naomi Wolf
Why am I voting for Obama? Obama, of all the candidates, is the only one of the major candidates - even more than Hillary Clinton, when they were running against each other - to speak in favor of the defense of the Constitution and the separation of powers.
Naomi Wolf
If people are taking my book seriously and organizing, getting into office, caring about the constitution, and not waiting for someone else to lead them, I think, God bless them. All of us should be doing that. The left should be doing that.
Naomi Wolf
Aging in women is 'unbeautiful' since women grow more powerful with time, and since the links between generations of women must always be broken.
Naomi Wolf
Beauty' is a currency system like the gold standard.
