Market Days

Famous quotes containing the words market and/or days:

“... married women work and neglect their children because the duties of the homemaker become so depreciated that women feel compelled to take a job in order to hold the respect of the community. It is one thing if women work, as many of them must, to help support the family. It is quite another thing—it is destructive of woman’s freedom—if society forces her out of the home and into the labor market in order that she may respect herself and gain the respect of others.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)

“Yet they do have
don’t they like us
their days of grace, they
halt, stretch, a vision
breaks in on the cramped grimace,
inscape of transformation.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
