We’re not out for submerged tenths, we’re not going to suffer over how the other half lives. We’re out for Mary’s job and Luella’s art, and Barbara’s independence and the rest of our individual careers and desires.”
—Anne O’Hagan (1869–?)

“For almost seventy years the life insurance industry has been a smug sacred cow feeding the public a steady line of sacred bull.”
