Isabel Miller Quote

And I felt, I think for the first time, a rage against men. Not because they could say, I'm going, and go. Not because they could go to college and become lawyers or preachers while women could only be drudge or ornament but nothing between. Not because they could be parents at no cost to their bodies. But because when they love a woman they may be with her, and all society will protect their possession of her.
