“The particular source of frustration of women observing their own self-study and measuring their worth as women by the distance they kept from men necessitated that a distance be kept, and so what vindicated them also poured fuel on the furnace of their rage.

They hated men because they needed husbands, and they loathed the men they chased away for going.”

“Heav’n from all creatures, hides the book of Fate,
All but the page prescrib’d, their present state:”
