“It was this feminine conspiracy which made Southern society so pleasant. Women knew that a land where men were contented, uncontradicted ans safe in possession of unpunctured vanity was likely to be a very pleasant place for women to live.

In fact, men willingly gave ladies everything in the world except credit for having intelligence.”
― Margaret Mitchell, Gone with the Wind
