“The American man is a very simple and cheap mechanism. The American woman I find a complicated and expensive one. Contrasts of feminine types are possible. I am not absolutely sure that there is more than one American man.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“American feminists have generally stressed the ways in which men and women should be equal and have therefore tried to put aside differences....
