24. Viola Klein, The Feminine Character: History of an Ideology,
with a foreword by Karl Manheim, New York: International
Universities Press, 1949, p. 99; this book was first published in
1946, reviews various writings on women, and here resumes
the theories of Helen B. Thompson. American women are 106
millions strong in 1972.

York: Macmillan, 1958) beautifully complements this text from
the literary side.

27. De Beauvoir, p. 18.
28. ‘There are two urns that stand on the door-sill of Zeus. They
are unlike for the gifts they bestow: an urn of evils, an urn of
blessings. If Zeus who delights in thunder mingles these and
bestows them on man, he shifts, and moves now in evil, again
in good fortune.’ Homer, Iliad, Book Twenty-Four, ll. 527–30
(translated by Richard Lattimore).
29. Irving Howe, ‘Between Fact and Fable’, New Republic, 31
