“If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“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.”
Anne Brontë
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
“No man should ever publish a book until he has first read it to a woman.”
