"If an orphan boy and an orphan girl need support, or apply for a marriage grant, the girl is cared for first. The boy may beg, but not the girl. " ~~ Tosefta: Ketubot
"God did not create woman fom man’s head, that he should command her; nor from his feet, that she should be his slave; but from his side, that she should be nearest his heart." ~~ [adapted from] Talmud
