“Without our being especially conscious of the transition, the word parent has gradually come to be used as much as a verb as a noun. Whereas we formerly thought mainly about being a parent, we now find ourselves talking about learning how to parent. . . . It suggests that we may now be concentrating on action rather than status, on what we do rather than what or who we are.”
—Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)
“Prostitutes have very improperly been styled women of pleasure; they are women of pain, or sorrow, of grief, of bitter and continual repentance, without a hope of obtaining a pardon.”
—Anonymous, U.S. womens magazine contributor. Weekly Visitor or Ladies Miscellany, p. 85 (January 1804)
