    “The formal Washington dinner party has all the spontaneity of a Japanese imperial funeral.”
    —Simon Hoggart (b. 1946)

    “... if, as women, we accept a philosophy of history that asserts that women are by definition assimilated into the male universal, that we can understand our past through a male lens—if we are unaware that women even have a history—we live our lives similarly unanchored, drifting in response to a veering wind of myth and bias.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
