“Women's fiction is just a marketing category, designed to appeal more to women than to men. But there are stories in that category that any human being would like.”
“Of all the nasty outcomes predicted for women's liberation...none was more alarming than the suggestion that women would eventually become just like men.”
“Women are divided into two categories: those who can deal with the men they are in love with, and those who cannot. Sophia was one of those who can.”
“Women rescue men just as much as, if not more than, men rescue women.”
“Men who pursue a multitude of women fit neatly into two categories. Some seek their own subjective and unchanging dream of a woman in all women. Others are prompted by a desire to possess the endless variety of the objective female in the world.”
“The history of men's opposition to women's emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.”
