Confined to domesticity, a woman cannot be expected to pursue the general interest

Evidence

All possibility of concrete communication with others is removed from her; in her experience she does not recognize either the appeal or the advantages of solidarity, since, separated, she is entirely devoted to her own family; she cannot be expected therefore to go beyond herself toward the general interest. She obstinately confines herself in the only familiar area where she has the power to grasp things and where she finds a precarious sovereignty. — Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex, 1746
