Famous quotes containing the words public and/or roles:

    “Unjust attacks on public men do them more good than unmerited praise.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “There is a striking dichotomy between the behavior of many women in their lives at work and in their lives as mothers. Many of the same women who are battling stereotypes on the job, who are up against unspoken assumptions about the roles of men and women, seem to accept—and in their acceptance seem to reinforce—these roles at home with both their sons and their daughters.”
    —Ellen Lewis (20th century)
