"She is a piker compared to Bella Abzug."

Bella was a very likable woman!

"I prefer the word 'homemaker' because 'housewife' always implies that there may be a wife someplace else."

"I’ve been described as a tough and noisy woman, a prize fighter, a man-hater, you name it. They call me Battling Bella, Mother Courage, and a Jewish mother with more complaints than Portnoy. There are those who say I’m impatient, impetuous, uppity, rude, profane, brash, and overbearing. Whether I’m any of those things, or all of them, you can decide for yourself. But whatever I am —and this ought to be made very clear—I am a very serious woman."
