Quote by Erica Jong
There is still the feeling that women's writing is a lesser class of writing, that what goes on in the nursery or the bedroom is not as important as what goes on in the battlefield, that what women know about is a less category of knowledge.
Summary
This quote highlights the pervasive belief that women's writing is often undervalued and marginalized in comparison to works produced by men. It points out that women's experiences, particularly those associated with the domestic sphere, are often dismissed as less important or significant than male-dominated narratives centered around war or other traditionally "important" topics. The quote also suggests that women's knowledge and expertise in certain areas may be deemed less valuable or valid solely based on their gender.
