Ruth Brandon Quotes

Obduracy Can Be Overcome By Determination. More Insidious, And Far Harder To Destroy, Was Women's Internalizing Of The Notion That They Were Somehow Inferior To Men, A Complementary Species Designed (in W.R. Greg's Words) To 'complet[e], Sweeten, And Embellish The Existence Of Others'. [Women] Still Chose To Become Nurses Rather Than Doctors, Secretaries Rather Than Bosses: To Be Ill-paid Facilitators For People No More Talented Nor, In Many Cases, Better Educated Than Themselves, But Who Simply Happened To Be Men. The Notion That They Might Be Their Bosses' Equals Penetrated Only Very Slowly; The Possibility That They Might Even Be Their Superiors, Though Accepted In Theory, Has Perhaps Still Not Wholly Sunk In.
