Famous quotes containing the words early, years and/or education:
“Even today . . . experts, usually male, tell women how to be mothers and warn them that they should not have children if they have any intention of leaving their side in their early years. . . .

Many people will help take care of their needs, depending on who their parents are and how they chose to fulfill their roles.”
