The female sex have long been the acknowledged possessors of a sort of mental quickness and intellectual acumen, or rather sharpness of vision, which may be better understood by the term sprightliness of imagination, which has enabled them to discern, or at least to recognize those smaller springs of action that regulate the conduct of mankind, which, from their supposed insignificancy, have escaped the grosser sex.
—P., U. S. women’s magazine contributor. American Ladies Magazine, pp. 193-201 (May 1828)

Unfortunately, nearly all the “sights” in America fall under the head of conditions. Hollywood, Reno, the sharecroppers’ homes in the South, the mining towns of Pennsylvania, Coney Island, the Chicago stockyards, Macy’s, the Dodgers, Harlem, even Congress, the forum of our liberties, are spectacles rather than sights, to use the term in the colloquial sense of “Didn’t he make a holy spectacle of himself?” An Englishman of almost any political opinion can show a visitor through the Houses of Parliament with a sense of pride or at least of indulgence toward his national foibles and traditions. The American, if he has a spark of national feeling, will be humiliated by the very prospect of a foreigner’s visit to Congress—these, for the most part, illiterate hacks whose fancy vests are spotted with gravy, and whose speeches, hypocritical, unctuous and slovenly, are spotted also with the gravy of political patronage, these persons are a reflection on the democratic process rather than of it; they expose it in its underwear.
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
