Famous quotes containing the words working and/or clothes:

    “That’s what being in the working class is all about—how to get out of it.”
    —Neville Kenneth Wran (b. 1926)

    “... there is nothing more irritating to a feminist than the average “Woman’s Page” of a newspaper, with its out-dated assumption that all women have a common trade interest in the household arts, and a common leisure interest in clothes and the doings of “high society.” Women’s interests to-day are as wide as the world.”
    —Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
