"It certainly cannot be affirmed, as an historical fact, that this has ever been established as one of the fundamental privileges and immunities of the s*x. On the contrary, the civil law, as well as nature herself, has always recognized a wide difference in the respective spheres and destinies of man and woman. Man is, or should be, woman's protector and defender. The natural and proper timidity and delicacy which belongs to the female s*x evidently unfits it for many of the occupations of civil life. The constitution of the family organization, which is founded in the divine ordinance, as well as in the nature of things, indicates the domestic sphere as that which properly belongs to the domain and functions of womanhood. The harmony, not to say identity, of interest and views which belong, or should belong, to the family institution is repugnant to the idea of a woman adopting a distinct and independent career from that of her husband." - Supreme Court Justice Bradley in 1872 after Myra Bradwell was denied an appeal of an Illinois court ruling that she not be admitted to take the bar exam.
