Black Women

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or women:

“Black women ... work because their husbands can’t make enough money at their jobs to keep everything going.... They don’t go to work to find fulfillment, or adventure, or glamour and romance, like so many white women think they are doing. Black women work out of necessity.”
—Wilma Rudolph (1940–1994)

“The women take so little stock
In what I do or say
They’d sooner leave their cosseting
To hear a jackass bray....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
