    “A strength to harm is perilous in the hand of an ambitious head.”
    —Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    “The failure of academic feminists to recognize difference as a crucial strength is a failure to reach beyond the first patriarchal lesson. In our world, divide and conquer must become define and empower.”
