Famous quotes containing the word recognition:

    “American feminists have generally stressed the ways in which men and women should be equal and have therefore tried to put aside differences.... Social feminists [in Europe] ... believe that men and society at large should provide systematic support to women in recognition of their dual role as mothers and workers.”
    —Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)
