“The society of Christendom and especially of Western Christendom up to the explosion, which we call the Reformation, had been a society of owners: a Proprietarial Society. It was one in which there remained strong bonds between one class and another, and in which there was a hierarchy of superior and inferior, but not, in the main, a distinction between a restricted body of possessors and a main body of destitute at the mercy of the possessors, such as our society has become.” WisdomBodyPoliticsStrongClassEconomyMercyWesternSuperiorsLiberalismDistinctionOur SocietyOwnersInferiorsHierarchyExplosionsReformationChristendomDestituteStrong Bond Book:The Crisis Of Civilization Source: The Crisis Of Civilization
“Compared to men writers of like distinction and years of life, few women writers have had lives of unbroken productivity, or leave behind a 'body of work.' Early beginnings, then silence; or clogged late ones (foreground silences); long periods between books (hidden silences); characterize most of us.” MenYearsLongBookBodyBehindsSilencePeriodsLateProductivityDistinctionUnbrokenYears Of LifeForeground Book:Silences Source: Silences
