— Sheldon Whitehouse
I really enjoyed the process of 'Women in Clothes,' but there's no way I would have done that again. It felt more like being an editor than a writer, and I longed to write again.
— Sheila Heti
Women, post-menopause, go back to how they were before they started menstruating, and there's this great freedom in a woman's life when she reaches the end of that reproductive cycle, and that most women come into their own strength, the same strength they had as a girl.
I don't think 'Motherhood' is a map for women. I would never say that it's a template for every woman in response to her biology.
Don't forget, I was a musician long before I ever met Prince. That's a big difference between me and those other women he's worked with. We operate on the same plane, as equals.
— Sheila E.

— Shayna Baszler
It was a beauty contest in the '80s. If they played two women back to back on the radio, it was almost a scandal.
— Shawn Colvin
I think, at a certain point, it's better for women not to have any alcohol because it can make your face, breasts and midsection get very bloated.
— Sharon Stone
I was really into the bimbo archetype that filled late 80s-early 90s TV when I was growing up. You know, women circling the want ads with nail polish, Rhonda Shear from 'U.S.A. Up All Night,' Peggy Bundy.
— Sharon Needles
Drag can be considered so many dangerous things, which it isn't. But the one thing we're never called is misogynist, which might be the only thing that we truly are. Because no woman looks like this. You have so many real biological everyday women say: 'Oh I wish I would look like you.' They would look ridiculous if they looked like us.
My interest in Women in Film came from attending the Crystal Awards in 1998 where Meryl Streep and producers Gale Anne Hurd and Lucy Fisher were honored with the annual award.
— Sharon Lawrence
Women did not have as many options as men, and I need to reflect that reality in my mysteries.
— Sharon Kay Penman

— Sharon Horgan
There's no praise or acknowledgment paid to women who raise the babies.
— Sharon Gless
I think it's quite a big decision for women to have children. In our time, I don't think we thought so much about it. We just went and had them and of course, life is not fun-filled and not complete if you don't have them. It's a wonderful thing when you think about it.
— Sharmila Tagore
Many women drop out of the work force altogether, which holds back our economy with a loss of skills and personnel.
— Sharan Burrow
When women are expected to bear the burden of unpaid work, everyone loses.

I wanted to talk to a lot of women about their experiences along the path to motherhood - or along the path to not being a mother.
The main problem I've always had with fashion media is that women are encouraged to copy other women.
Many of the traits in my characters are exaggerations of things I see in myself. But in 'How Should a Person Be?' I wasn't trying to write about myself so much as a combination of myself and these women I was seeing in our culture.
Little children love bright, shiny things - and in my experience, most grown-up women aren't very different!
— Sheherazade Goldsmith
Women don't like advice. They don't want you to fix their problems, they just want you to listen.
— Shawn Wayans
Bill Clinton is just as gross as Donald Trump - so much so that the Clinton campaign can't really back Trump into a corner on his integrity or mistreatment of women because Bill's personal history is so damn awful.
— Shaun King
As women, we understand our bodies, and there's a blossoming that occurs. We're hungry for gourmet meals instead of the fast food. We bring to life a more expansive understanding of life, ourselves, and others. We are more generous and assertive.
In the entertainment industry women are often judged. They judge bigger women, they judge black women, and older women too. We just don't do that in drag. Drag is open to everyone, regardless of gender, body shape or age.
I was interested in working on a show that was driven by women.
I didn't like the 'Survivor' shows because of the mean-spirited aspect, and women certainly were part of whatever conflict they would create.
When I moved to Wales more than twenty years ago and began to research 'Here Be Dragons,' I was fascinated from the first by the Welsh medieval laws, by the discovery that women enjoyed a greater status in Wales than elsewhere in Europe.
I think, on the whole, men are much more shallow than women.
Women and minorities have excelled beautifully in comedy, but very few women are the lead in a drama.
I definitely take after my dad, looks-wise. But my mum is my greatest inspiration. All the women in my family are amazing. They're hilarious. I love funny people.
— Shari Sebbens
#MeToo shows this bias is systemic, that people get away with violence against women, get away with discrimination - whether in work or society in general - because, for too long, silence has been the answer.
There is no doubt that the participation of women in the workforce is a serious productivity boost, but to enable this ambition, there must be investment in care - child care, aged care, disability care, health, and education - which are essential social support structures to enable women to work.
Marching with over a million women in support of our reproductive rights was one of the most empowering things I have done, both as a woman and as a Member of Congress.
— Sheila Jackson Lee
In my experience, women who are taken seriously take themselves seriously. It's not what you wear.
I've written about women's lives, and I just want to write about them from being a woman. I don't need feminism on top of that when I'm writing.
Women without children can help mothers, and we can just be all in this together.
Have you any idea what it's like to live under the same roof as four women? Armageddon is the best word for it.
— Shayne Ward
There are tons of women's perfumes that I've smelt and been like, 'I love that. I would totally wear that,' and lots of women smell a lot of men's cologne and think the same thing about that. I think there should be no reason to put gender on it.
— Shawn Mendes
Blame it on our short memories, the daily grind of the 24-hour-news cycle, or the endless barrage of information that comes at us on social media, but count me in the number of people who did not truly understand how utterly gross both Donald Trump and Bill Clinton have been to women, including their own wives, across the years.
I certainly think Halle Berry's a wonderful role model. She's a terrific stepmother and has shown that in so many beautiful ways and has made such enormous strides for women culturally and such great successes as an actress and philanthropist.
Most drag queens dress up as super women, as an over exaggeration of the female form, because we like women, usually powerful women. I think that's why we are so over exaggerated; we are an amplification of the women who empowered us in our youth.
Women remain dramatically under-represented as characters in film when compared to their representation in the U.S. population.
I was the Chair of the WIFF Foundation, which is the philanthropic arm of Women In Film. The foundation runs the several programs including one that provide our film finishing fund. So we help women complete their films with a grant from Netflix. It's great to be associated with award winning films like 'Freeheld' and 'Circumstance'.
Comedy and drama are less ageist media for women than stuff like light entertainment. But in TV or film, women have to be more pleasing on the eye than men.
I've come to learn that there is a real difference between men and women. It's genetic.
We've always had very strong women in my family.
Hopefully I'm a role model for positive change for everyone - not just women. It's very important to find balance between men and women.
— Shari Arison
You can't deny that if you have, you know, people who think it's okay to talk about women, to disregard the rights of workers, we're in trouble as an inclusive world.
