Famous quotes containing the words founding and/or mothers:
“... there is no way of measuring the damage to a society when a whole texture of humanity is kept from realizing its own power, when the woman architect who might have reinvented our cities sits barely literate in a semilegal sweatshop on the Texas- Mexican border, when women who should be founding colleges must work their entire lives as domestics ...”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Most of us don’t have mothers who blazed a trail for us—at least, not all the way.

—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
