Famous quotes containing the words gain, city and/or status:

—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“Youve been trying to keep an honest accounting of city monies. Youve been dealing with politicians. Youve been standing up for your own rights, havent you? Naturally you landed in jail.”
—Dalton Trumbo (19051976)
“Anthropologists have found that around the world whatever is considered mens work is almost universally given higher status than womens work. If in one culture it is men who build houses and women who make baskets, then that culture will see house-building as more important. In another culture, perhaps right next door, the reverse may be true, and basket- weaving will have higher social status than house-building.”
—Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen. Excerpted from, Gender Grace: Love, Work, and Parenting in a Changing World (1990)
