Iterated Expectations

Famous quotes containing the words iterated and/or expectations:

“The customary cry,
‘Come buy, come buy,’
With its iterated jingle
Of sugar-bated words:”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

“Americans have internalized the value that mothers of young children should be mothers first and foremost, and not paid workers. The result is that a substantial amount of confusion, ambivalence, guilt, and anxiety is experienced by working mothers. Our cultural expectations of mother and realities of female participation in the labor force are directly contradictory.”
—Ruth E. Zambrana, U.S. researcher, M. Hurst, and R.L. Hite. “The Working Mother in Contemporary Perspectives: A Review of Literature,” Pediatrics (December 1979)
