Famous quotes containing the word health:

    “A woman’s health is her capital.”
    —Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)

    “The ideal of men and women sharing equally in parenting and working is a vision still. What would it be like if women and men were less different from each other, if our worlds were not so foreign? A male friend who shares daily parenting told me that he knows at his very core what his wife’s loving for their daughter feels like, and that this knowing creates a stronger bond between them.”
    —Anonymous Mother. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 6 (1978)

    “A major difference between witches and psychotherapists is that witches see the mental health of women as having important political consequences.”
    —Naomi R. Goldenberg (b. 1947)
