A woman cannot be herself in the society of the present day, which is an exclusively masculine society, with laws framed by men and with a judicial system that judges feminine conduct from a masculine point of view. - Henrik Ibsen (Notes for the Modern Tragedy Quotes)

A woman cannot be herself in the society of the present day, which is an exclusively masculine society, with laws framed by men and with a judicial system that judges feminine conduct from a masculine point of view.[En kvinde kan ikke være sig selv i nutidens samfund, der er et udelukkende mandligt samfund, med love skrevne af mænd og med anklagere og dommere der dommer den kvindelige færd fra mandligt standpunkt.]
