Sorry, I'm not familiar with the reference.

There was a British band in the late 80s called Shakespeare's Sister and that's a lyric from one of their hits.

ETA It was a big hit all over the world including the US in 1992.

It is very interesting to me how many women writers, scientists, artists, business owners etc were always working and then history just pretended they didn’t exist. Henry and Sarah Fielding contributed to each other’s work. Mileva Maric did Einstein’s maths. Apparently Nannerl Mozart as a child was considered the more talented of the two. But even 20th century women authors like Fay Weldon and Ursula LeGuin thought, at least at one point in their careers, that women just didn’t really turn up as great writers etc. (Trying hard to get your thread going again OP 😉)

Lol - thanks for your efforts.
Funny, I just heard a bit about Nannerl Mozart for the first time recently.
It was an impossible bind, wasn't it? They didn't school women, then of course women couldn't participate.
This is why I continue to marvel at the miracle that is Jane Austen.
