When We Too Are Armed And Trained, We Can Convince Men That We Have Hands, Feet, And A Heart Like Yours; And Although We May Be Delicate And Soft, Some Men Who Are Delicate Are Also Strong; And Others, Coarse And Harsh, Are Cowards. Women Have Not Yet Realized This, For If They Should Decide To Do So, They Would Be Able To Fight You Until Death; And To Prove That I Speak The Truth, Amongst So Many Women, I Will Be The First To Act, Setting An Example For Them To Follow. —veronica Franco 1546-1591
