Role Function

Famous quotes containing the words role and/or function:

“Women’s battle for financial equality has barely been joined, much less won. Society still traditionally assigns to woman the role of money-handler rather than money-maker, and our assigned specialty is far more likely to be home economics than financial economics.”
—Paula Nelson (b. 1945)

“We are thus able to distinguish thinking as the function which is to a large extent linguistic.”
