Those who appeared to put their own needs first were castigated and shunnedthe ultimate damnation for a gender trained to be wholly dependent on the acceptance and praise of others.”

“Lets take the instant by the forward top;
For we are old, and on our quickst decrees
Th inaudible and noiseless foot of time
Steals ere we can effect them.”
