I am satisfied that if a book is a good one, it is so whatever the sex of the author may be. All novels are or should be written for both men and women to read, and I am at a loss to conceive how a man should permit himself to write anything that would be really disgraceful to a woman, or why a woman should be censured for writing anything that would be proper and becoming for a man. ↗

Family life itself, that safest, most traditional, most approved of female choices, is not a sanctuary: It is, perpetually, a dangerous place. ↗

I think for anyone - male or female - in improv, the biggest thing to get over is the fear. I think every improviser has that. ↗

Very learned women are to be found, in the same manner as female warriors; but they are seldom or ever inventors. ↗
