But I'm not sure this explains why so many people do not respect translators or would simply prefer not to think about them. #Quote by Lydia Davis

The charisma and, indeed, sensuality so lacking in her angry critics? #Quote by Victor Davis Hanson

It is an achievement, despite its many limitations, that should help inspire some confidence in other movements for social change, for not being condemned to fully accept the world into which we are born. #Quote by David Brion Davis

Yet the incipient industrialization of the economy was simultaneously eroding women's prestige in the home - a prestige based on their previously productive and absolutely essential domestic labor. Their social status began to deteriorate accordingly. An ideological consequence of industrial capitalism was the shaping of a more rigorous notion of female inferiority. It seemed, in fact, that the more women's domestic duties shrank under the impact of industrialization, the more rigid became the assertion that "woman's place is in the home. #Quote by Angela Y. Davis
