—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“By now, legions of tireless essayists and op-ed columnists have dressed feminists down for making such a fuss about entering the professions and earning equal pay that everyone’s attention has been distracted from the important contributions of mothers working at home.

—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
