“A woman is a dish for the gods.” – Antony and Cleopatra

I guess March is Women’s History Month.  To be honest, I wasn’t even aware that March was supposed to be a celebration of women’s history; it certainly doesn’t get much play.  Anyhow, in honor of this, I tried to find an applicable quote from Shakespeare, but it was hard!  Shakespeare has a ton of quotes about women, of course, but most of them are actually rather degrading.  Even the one chosen above is sort of degrading.  I’d rather women be less a dish for the gods, then an admired member of human kind.  It’s 2016 already – let’s focus on women’s minds and not their looks please!
