They saw through that adage, repeated to me so often in childhood, that anything worth doing is worth doing well.

—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“I am an inveterate homemaker, it is at once my pleasure, my recreation, and my handicap. Were I a man, my books would have been written in leisure, protected by a wife and a secretary and various household officials. As it is, being a woman, my work has had to be done between bouts of homemaking.”
—Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)
