“Henceforth the leaves of the tree of knowledge were for women, and for the healing of the nations.”

—  Lucy Stone

The Progress of Fifty Years (1893)
Context: Get but a truth once uttered, and 'tis like
A star new born that drops into its place;
And which, once circling in its placid round,
Not all the tumult of the earth can shake.
Henceforth the leaves of the tree of knowledge were for women, and for the healing of the nations.
