Famous quotes containing the word women:

    “I stood in the empty hall
    And watched them come and go
    From one room to another,
    Old men, old women slow,
    Familiar; girls, boys;
    I saw my downcast mother....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Many women cut back what had to be done at home by redefining what the house, the marriage and, sometimes, what the child needs. One woman described a fairly common pattern: “I do my half. I do half of his half, and the rest doesn’t get done.””
    —Arlie Hochschild (20th century)

    “Oh, darling, let your body in,
    let it tie you in,
    in comfort.
    What I want to say, Linda,
    is that women are born twice.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
