Derided and deriding, driven out

The most exalted lady loved by a man.”

“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat.

—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
