Camille Paglia
“I used to tell women graduate students, half-seriously, that the role of slightly rebellious daughter was one of the better roles for women living in patriarchy.”
Carol Gilligan
“I never teach my pupils; I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.”
Albert Einstein
“I'm delighted with the results, which are a reflection of the very positive attitude of the students and their teachers.”

“Fifty years ago in America, law schools had virtually no women students or professors, and their attitude then is much like that in the film industry today. The prevailing opinion was that women don't want to be lawyers and, anyway, they wouldn't be good at it; they're too emotional. But there was a movement that forced schools to change, and nobody today says women aren't capable lawyers. We're saying the same thing. Let women in, we'll show you we can do it.”
Kathe Kollwitz
