Bella Abzug Quotes:

Ocupation: Lawyer

Life: July 24, 1920 - March 31, 1998

Birthday: July 24

Death: March 31

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.

- Bella Abzug
