    “... there is no way of measuring the damage to a society when a whole texture of humanity is kept from realizing its own power, when the woman architect who might have reinvented our cities sits barely literate in a semilegal sweatshop on the Texas- Mexican border, when women who should be founding colleges must work their entire lives as domestics ...”

    “We don’t know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it.

    —Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
