Equality is a refreshing thought which is why we will prevail and the feudal Islamic societies will not: A woman is human. She is not better, wiser, stronger, more intelligent, more creative, or more responsible than a man. Likewise, she is never less. Equality is a given. A woman is human.” Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspirpation
