Oppressed Peoples

“Women have a hard time of it in this world. They are oppressed by man-made laws, man-made social customs, masculine egoism, the delusion of masculine superiority. Their one comfort is the assurance that, even though it may be impossible to prevail against man, it is always possible to enslave and torture a man.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)

“But what experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.”
