Edward Rutherfurd Quote
The old man had smiled kindly. It is in their nature, child. God has made woman the weaker vessel. It was an old belief, dating back to St Paul himself. It is man who is made in God’s image, my child. Man’s seed produces his perfect likeness. Woman, being only the container in which the seed matures, is therefore inferior. She may still reach heaven, but, being inferior, it is harder.
