“Locked out of the universities, she built a city instead — a fortress of argument and example where every insulted woman in history could live — and in doing so invented a way of doing philosophy from outside philosophy's gates.”

“Women only seem lesser because they have been made lesser — deprived of education and buried under a library of slander — and the historical record of what women have actually done refutes every claim about what women by nature cannot do.”
