Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or influence:

    Somehow we have been taught to believe that the experiences of girls and women are not important in the study and understanding of human behavior. If we know men, then we know all of humankind. These prevalent cultural attitudes totally deny the uniqueness of the female experience, limiting the development of girls and women and depriving a needy world of the gifts, talents, and resources our daughters have to offer.
    Jeanne Elium (20th century)

    The woman who can’t influence her husband to vote the way she wants ought to be ashamed of herself.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
