What would the world be like if men never ruled again?

David Vann
About This Quote

In the book “The Mists of Avalon,” Arthurian legends are re-imagined as a story about a woman named Morgaine and her relationship with her husband, the great King Arthur. In the retelling of this story, Morgaine is a powerful and influential figure whose counsel is sought by King Arthur at every turn. Morgaine’s influence leads to a different kind of world. She inspires a different kind of man, a man who would be willing to rule in order to make the world a better place for everyone. This world would be one where men and women were equal and everyone could reach their full potential.
