Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2004-07-19:

"I shall venture the assertion, that, until women assume the place in society which good sense and good feeling alike assign to them, human improvement must advance but feebly.... Men will ever rise or fall to the level of the other sex.... Let them not imagine that they know aught of the delights which intercourse with the other sex can give, until they have felt the sympathy of mind with mind, and heart with heart, until they bring into that intercourse every affection, every talent, every confidence, every refinement, every respect. Until power is annihilated on one side, fear and obedience on the other, and both restored to their birthright -- equality." -- Frances Wright, quoted in Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, p122.
