The number of women who studied Physics and sophisticated sciences in Germany at the time were few and far between. Ironically, Einstein married one of the few. However, the marriage failed for many reasons and his subsequent marriage was not to a scientist. Other conversations with him in later years revealed that his belief was that women were constitutionally unsuited to creative, theoretical science—Einstein’s type of science was almost purely abstract and mathematical.

Marcus Porcius Cato. This quotation has had two different interpretations over time. One was that women if they received equality of treatment and voting would have an advantage for they also had their traditional “feminine wiles” and their sexuality, hence would dominate men. The second was a also a warning but based on the fact that women were superior in many ways, and given an equal chance, would excel men. The later interpretation is argued by some who point to the 2011 American data that shows more females than males graduating from high school and college, and females outnumber males in medical, law and several other professional schools. With the exception of a few Roman men, most heeded Cato’s warning and never took a chance on female equality.
