Every woman knows what I'm talking about. It's the presumption that makes it hard, at times, for any woman in any field; that keeps women fromspeaking up and from being heard when they dare; that crushes young womeninto silence by indicating, the way harassment on the street does, that thisis not their world. It trains us in self-doubt and self-limitation just as it exercises men's unsupported overconfidence. - Rebecca Solnit in MotherJones
