Howard ZinnCivil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders . . . . and millions have been killed because of this obedience . . . .
Howard ZinnIt is possible, reading standard histories, to forget half the population of the country.

The very invisibility of women, the overlooking of women, is a sign of their submerged status.
