“I’m always impatient with those who say, ‘You women have come a long way.’ Since I am no gradualist I think to myself that 150 years is too long a time to come ‘a long way’ . . .”

Hon. Jane Matilda Bolin, 1958, quoted in Jacqueline A. McLeod’s: “Daughter of the Empire State: The Life of Judge Jane Bolin” (2016).
