George Eliot: You may try...

Source: NOVELISTS

You may try but you can never imagine what it is to have a man's form of genius in you, and to suffer the slavery of being a girl.

-- George Eliot, (Nov 22 1819-1880), English novelist; Mary Ann Evans was the foremost woman novelist of her time, e.g., Silas Marner, 1861.
