The following is from The Farther Reaches of Human Nature (Viking Press, 1971) by the psychologist Abraham H. Maslow, as quoted in Sexist Stereotypes and Archetypes: What to Do With Them/ What the Writing Woman Can Hope For by Jeannette M. Hopper:
“I have learned recently (through my studies of peak experiences) to look at women and to feminine creativeness as a good field of operation for research, because it gets less involved in products, less involved in achievement, more involved with the process itself, with the going-on process rather than with the climax in obvious triumph and success.”
