One never sees them inflict pointless suffering, and they are glad to relieve the sorrows of others when they can do so without much trouble to themselves. They are not disinterested, but they are gentle.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“The women’s liberation movement at this point in history makes the American Communist Party of the 1930s look like a monolith.”
