Famous quotes containing the words group and/or stage:
“...Women’s Studies can amount simply to compensatory history; too often they fail to challenge the intellectual and political structures that must be challenged if women as a group are ever to come into collective, nonexclusionary freedom.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Self-pity in its early stage is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.”
