And dined in a royal way
On toasted pigs and pickles and figs
And gummery bread each day.”

“... married women work and neglect their children because the duties of the homemaker become so depreciated that women feel compelled to take a job in order to hold the respect of the community. It is one thing if women work, as many of them must, to help support the family. It is quite another thing—it is destructive of woman’s freedom—if society forces her out of the home and into the labor market in order that she may respect herself and gain the respect of others.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“The sciences have ever been the surest guides to virtue.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
