Famous quotes containing the words feminine and/or rhyme:
“The suburban housewife—she was the dream image of the young American women and the envy, it was said, of women all over the world. The American housewife—freed by science and labor-saving appliances from the drudgery, the dangers of childbirth, and the illnesses of her grandmother ... had found true feminine fulfilment.”
—Betty Friedan (b. 1921)
“I’ll rhyme you so eight years together, dinners and suppers
and sleeping-hours excepted.”
