Yet the whole Mass a Paradise...
The worst of all the Multitude
Did something for the Common Good.

Employd a Million of the Poor,
And odious Pride a Million more...
... ...the very Poor
Livd better than the Rich before...”

“What had really caused the womens movement was the additional years of human life. At the turn of the century womens life expectancy was forty-six; now it was nearly eighty. Our groping sense that we couldnt live all those years in terms of motherhood alone was the problem that had no name. Realizing that it was not some freakish personal fault but our common problem as women had enabled us to take the first steps to change our lives.”
—Betty Friedan (20th century)
