“They said I’d never get you back again.
I tell you what you’ll never really know:

Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
“The tears I have cried over Germany have dried. I have washed my face.”
—Marlene Dietrich (1904–1992)
