bilby commented on the word brood animal
"Woman’s acceptance of her inferior status was the more real because it was unconscious. She had chained herself to her place in society and the family through the maternal functions of her nature, and only chains thus strong could have bound her to her lot as a brood animal for the masculine civilizations of the world."
- Margaret Sanger, 'Woman and the New Race'.
