    “where the Statue stood
    Of Newton, with his Prism and silent Face
    The marble index of a Mind for ever
    Voyaging through strange seas of Thought, alone.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “An accurate charting of the American woman’s progress through history might look more like a corkscrew tilted slightly to one side, its loops inching closer to the line of freedom with the passage of time—but like a mathematical curve approaching infinity, never touching its goal. . . . Each time, the spiral turns her back just short of the finish line.”
    —Susan Faludi (20th century)
