Quotation from Cymbeline by William Shakespeare

“Is there no way for men to be, but women Must be half-workers”

William Shakespeare (spoken by Posthumus)

Cymbeline, Act 2, Scene 5 (Project Gutenberg #1538)

The opening of Posthumus's tirade against women after Iachimo's false proof; the speech's extravagance shows his judgment overthrown by jealousy.
