Sandra Donkor Women's Studies Journal "Are Women Morally Superior To Men?” by Katha Pollitt Were mothers the natural leaders of the peace movement, to whose judgment nonmothers, male and female, must defer, because after all we couldn't know, couldn't feel that tenderness toward fragile human life that a woman who had borne and raised children had experienced?
