Notable quotes

“If perticuliar care and attention is not paid to the Laidies we are determined to foment a Rebelion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation.”
— Abigail Adams, Letter to John Adams (31 March 1776)
“Woman is the crowning excellence of God's creation, the shadow of the gods. Man the god's creation only. Woman is light, man is shadow. Could the light do without the shadow?”

“A Carvalho le molestaba tomar el sol como un lagarto, Pero Teresa demostraba una gran solidaridad con el termostato habitual en todas las mujeres, animales de sangre fría que necesitan el sol y son capaces de someterse a sus rayos con la beatífica expresión del comulgante o incluso con el éxtasis del mistico dispuesto a la entrega divina.”
— Carvalho did not like lying in the sun like a lizard, but Teresa showed that her body thermostat was the same as that of all other women, cold-blooded creatures who need the sun and are capable of soaking up its rays with the beatific expression of someone taking communion, or even the ecstatic look of a mystic surrendering to the godhead.
“Women are as roses; whose fair flower, Being once display’d, doth fall that very hour.”
— William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night (c. 1601–2), act 2, sc. 4
“A woman is an angel at ten, a saint at fifteen, a devil at forty, and a witch at fourscore.”

"Peasant Wives" is an 1891 short story by Anton Chekhov.

Overview

"Peasant Wives" is an 1891 short story by Anton Chekhov. Publication The story was first published in the 25 June (old style) 1891, No. 5502 issue of Novoye Vremya. After minor cuts it was included into the Ward No. 6 collection (St. Petersburg, 1893) to feature unchanged in its 2–7 (1893–1899) editions. In July 1891 Ivan Gorbunov-Posadov approached Chekhov with the request: to publish as a separate edition "...this brilliant tale of a local Tartuffe, a vile, debauched, God-fearing hypocrite", and Chekhov gave him his permission. The story came out in 1894 via the Posrednik Publishers, but with the Varvara and Sofya's nightly dialogue cut out, the scene which is crucial for the understanding of the whole story. After some stylistic revision Chekhov included it into Volume 6 of his Collected Works published by Adolf Marks in 1889–1901. After its release, the story was banned from both the school and public libraries. Dmitry Averkiyev, then a member of the Scientific committee of the Ministry of education provided the following verdict on "Peasant Wives": "The story is well written, but its moral foundations are too shaky for it to be considered fit for public libraries."
