Poverty Rate

Famous quotes containing the words poverty and/or rate:

“It is the women of Europe who pay the price while war rages, and it will be the women who will pay again when war has run its bloody course and Europe sinks down into the slough of poverty like a harried beast too spent to wage the fight. It will be the sonless mothers who will bend their shoulders to the plough and wield in age-palsied hands the reaphook.”
—Kate Richards O’Hare (1877–1948)

“We honor motherhood with glowing sentimentality, but we don’t rate it high on the scale of creative occupations.”
