“No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building.

—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“His books are solid and workmanlike, as all that England does; and they are graceful and readable also.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
