Famous quotes containing the word husbands:

    “To name oneself is the first act of both the poet and the revolutionary. When we take away the right to an individual name, we symbolically take away the right to be an individual. Immigration officials did this to refugees; husbands routinely do it to wives.”
    —Erica Jong (b. 1942)
