Substituting "Great Men" for Ourselves

"To step outside of patriarchal thought means...overcoming the deep-seated resistance within ourselves toward accepting ourselves and our knowledge as valid. It means getting rid of the great men in our heads and substituting them for ourselves, our sisters, our anonymous foremothers."

- Gerda Lerner, The Creation of Patriarchy
