"Of
all things that have life and sense we women are the most hapless
creatures; first we must buy a husband at a great price, and o'er
ourselves a tyrant set (which is an evil worst than the first); and herein
lies the most important issue -- whether our choice be good or bad. For
divorce is not honorable to women, nor can we disown our lords."
-- Euripides, Medea
