Famous quotes by stephanie coontz:
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain ‘above the fray’ only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
