Michael, a few pages ago, I addressed Quincy's stats. I don't see anything contradictory in all these stats and the feminist perspective. There is a fundamental gender inequality in society. That is a fact. Read Woolf. Stat.
Here, I found some quotes for you:
A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.
For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.
The history of men's opposition to women's emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.
This is an important book, the critic assumes, because it deals with war. This is an insignificant book because it deals with the feelings of women in a drawing-room.
Who shall measure the heat and violence of the poet's heart when caught and tangled in a woman's body?
Yet, it is true, poetry is delicious; the best prose is that which is most full of poetry.
And one of my all-time favorites: One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.
