Famous quotes containing the word french:

    “In most other modern societies working mothers are not put under these special and exaggerated pressures. For example, French and English mothers often prefer to breast-feed their babies, but they do not feel that their womanhood is at stake if they fail to do so. Nor does anyone else.”
    —Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)
