    “To become a token woman—whether you win the Nobel Prize or merely get tenure at the cost of denying your sisters—is to become something less than a man ... since men are loyal at least to their own world-view, their laws of brotherhood and self-interest.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “The high-water mark, so to speak, of Socialist literature is W.H. Auden, a sort of gutless Kipling.”
