“When other Ladies to the Shades go down,
Still Flavia, Chloris, Celia stay in Town;
Those Ghosts of Beauty ling’ring there abide,
And haunt the places where their Honour dy’d.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“Anthropologists have found that around the world whatever is considered “men’s work” is almost universally given higher status than “women’s work.” If in one culture it is men who build houses and women who make baskets, then that culture will see house-building as more important. In another culture, perhaps right next door, the reverse may be true, and basket- weaving will have higher social status than house-building.”
—Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen. Excerpted from, Gender Grace: Love, Work, and Parenting in a Changing World (1990)
