Dress Reform

Famous quotes containing the words dress and/or reform:

    ... my one aim and concentrated purpose shall be and is to show that women can learn, can reason, can compete with men in the grand fields of literature and science ... that a woman can be a woman and a true one without having all her time engrossed by dress and society.
    M. Carey Thomas (1857–1935)

    And let Reform her columns roll.
    With thunder peal, and lightening flash.
    We’ll preach deliverance to the soul.
    ‘Mid proud Oppression’s waning crash.
