Famous quotes containing the word magazine:
“I have been searching history to see if really a woman has any precedent to claim the right to have her rights, and I am compelled to say that we men are not so much ahead of women after all, and the only way we have kept our reputation up is by keeping her down—and don’t you forget it!”
—George E. Foster, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. The Woman’s Magazine, pp. 38-41 (October 1886)
“The Husband of To-Day ever considers his wife but as a portion of his my-ship.
Nominative I.
Possessive My, or Mine.
Objective Me.
This is the grammar known to the Husband of To-Day.”
—Anonymous, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. The Revolution (June 24, 1869)
“The ease with which problems are understood and solved on paper, in books and magazine articles, is never matched by the reality of the mother’s experience. . . . Her child’s behavior often does not follow the storybook version. Her own feelings don’t match the way she has been told she ought to feel. . . . There is something wrong with either her child or her, she thinks. Either way, she accepts the blame and guilt.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
