Virginia Woolf and O'Keefe, for example, the last two women at the table, strive to lift themselves off their plates, yet, as Chicago notes. "All women represented are still contained within their place setting." Women must continue to struggle, she believes, to create, someday, an equalized world, in which women's achievements as well as men's will "shape the world's destiny...

By using democracy, the strong man can overcome those weaker elements, can lead, can persuade people to make their nation strong and make it survive. From the depths of your soul, your dark soul, you must strive to be great, to survive, to stand over other men...and too, a nation must strive to do the same, it is the way of nature, the fittest survive, you see, like Nietzsche knew, and Wagner...
