    Who talks of Plato’s spindle;
    What set it whirling round?
    Eternity may dwindle,
    Time is unwound,
    Dan and Jerry Lout
    Change their loves about.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Women’s battle for financial equality has barely been joined, much less won. Society still traditionally assigns to woman the role of money-handler rather than money-maker, and our assigned specialty is far more likely to be home economics than financial economics.
    —Paula Nelson (b. 1945)
