Famous quotes containing the word department:

    “I believe in women; and in their right to their own best possibilities in every department of life. I believe that the methods of dress practiced among women are a marked hindrance to the realization of these possibilities, and should be scorned or persuaded out of society.”
    —Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
