Real people

Posted by PJ under human rights, prejudice, quote of the day, women
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“There is hardly any other sphere in which prejudice and superstition of the most horrific kind have been retained so long as in that of women, and just as it must have been an inexpressible relief for humanity when it shook off the burden of religious prejudice and superstition, I think it will be truly glorious when women become real people and have the whole world open before them.”

—Karen Blixen/Isak Dinesen, letter to her sister Elle, 1923
