    “Mrs. John Lyford is so much pleased with the state of
    widowhood as to be going to put in for being a widow again; she
    is to marry a Mr. Fendall.”
    —Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    “Views of women, on one side, as inwardly directed toward home and family and notions of men, on the other, as outwardly striving toward fame and fortune have resounded throughout literature and in the texts of history, biology, and psychology until they seem uncontestable. Such dichotomous views defy the complexities of individuals and stifle the potential for people to reveal different dimensions of themselves in various settings.”
    —Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
