Summary

This quote reflects a vision of progress and gender equality. It envisions a future where achieving milestones for women, known as 'firsts', will no longer be a cause for celebration because equality will have been fully realized. Instead, these 'firsts' will become historic events to remind and inspire generations about the progress made towards gender parity. The quote encourages society to continue working towards a future where 'firsts' are no longer necessary, and where women have equal opportunities and representation in every aspect of life.

The idea that leisure is of value in itself is only conditionally true. The average man simply spends his leisure as a dog spends it. His recreations are all puerile, and the time supposed to benefit him really only stupefies him.
