Famous quotes containing the words china and/or syndrome:

    “The awakening of the people of China to the possibilities under free government is the most significant, if not the most momentous, event of our generation.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “Women are taught that their main goal in life is to serve others—first men, and later, children. This prescription leads to enormous problems, for it is supposed to be carried out as if women did not have needs of their own, as if one could serve others without simultaneously attending to one’s own interests and desires. Carried to its “perfection,” it produces the martyr syndrome or the smothering wife and mother.”
    —Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
