Famous quotes containing the words definition and/or examples:

    ... if, as women, we accept a philosophy of history that asserts that women are by definition assimilated into the male universal, that we can understand our past through a male lens—if we are unaware that women even have a history—we live our lives similarly unanchored, drifting in response to a veering wind of myth and bias.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
