Famous quotes containing the words working and/or groups:
“Despite compelling evidence that she will be working at 35, by choice or necessity, today’s 21-year-old woman has difficulty looking beyond the ceremonies of her marriage and her babies’ christenings.”
—Marilyn Bender (b. 1925)
“Only the groups which exclude us have magic.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
