| The world of humanity is possessed of two wings: the male and the
female. So long as these two wings are not equivalent in strength, the bird will not fly.
Until womankind reaches the same degree as man, until she enjoys the same arena of
activity, extraordinary attainment for humanity will not be realized; humanity cannot wing
its way to heights of real attainment. When the two wings . . . become equivalent in
strength, enjoying the same prerogatives, the flight of man will be exceedingly lofty and
extraordinary. 'Abdu'l-Bahá |
