Famous quotes containing the word bastion:

    “The bar is the male kingdom. For centuries it was the bastion of male privilege, the gathering place for men away from their women, a place where men could go to freely indulge in The Bull Session ... the release of the guilty anxiety of the oppressor class.”
    —Shulamith Firestone (b. 1945)
