To men a man is but a mind. Who cares
What face he carries or what form he wears?
But woman's body is the woman.

Another quote from the 1900s

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
