—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Families suffered badly under industrialization, but they survived, and the lives of men, women, and children improved. Children, once marginal and exploited figures, have moved to a position of greater protection and respect,...

Like the decline in death from childbirth for women, this is a stunning achievement.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
