Famous quotes containing the words baker and/or wife:

    Women will not advance except by joining together in cooperative action.... Unlike other groups, women do not need to set affiliation and strength in opposition one against the other. We can readily integrate the two, search for more and better ways to use affiliation to enhance strength—and strength to enhance affiliation.
    —Jean Baker Miller (20th century)

    The only solid and lasting peace between a man and his wife is, doubtless, a separation.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
