Quotations

"Men have come to look upon women as a sort of appendage to themselves, a sort of tail that has only to wag when man—the dog—is pleased. And many men's attitude. . . is that of serious and painful surprise. . . if. . . informed that in the future his tail would assert its own individuality." (New South Wales Parl.; photo c1866 wikicom pd)
