On June 23, 2013, the New York Times quoted one of Campbell's elder sisters, Liza Campbell, in an article that described the law of primogeniture as a legacy instance of sexism, “The posh aspect of it blinds people to what is essentially sexism in a privileged minority, where girls are born less than boys.”
