Katharine Hepburn:
Through her films, she refuses to be humiliated or look ugly. Her combined integrity, intelligence, and proud, frank beauty rises to the surface, making us feel, with her, the difficulty and joy of being such a woman. She evolved, developed, played different parts, and in remaining true to her intractable self, made some enemies. And she made life difficult for those who believed that a woman could not be brilliant and beautiful, and ambitious and feminine at the same time.
- Molly Haskell (From Reverence to Rape: the Treatment of Women in the Movies, 1974)
