This was not because he had formed a compact with Antony and through him with Lepidus, little he cared for that fact, but because he saw they were powerful and knew their purposes were linked by the bands of kinship, and he could not use force with them; and besides he cherished hopes of bringing about through them the downfall of Cassius and Brutus, who were already very influential, and subsequently of wearing them out one against the other.

It is the recognition of the kinship of all women, of whatever creed, opinion, nationality or degree; and it is a sign of a bond that entitles every one to equal place; not to charity or toleration alone, but to consideration and respect. Inside of the club we are equal sharers of each other's gifts.
