Shalu Nigam
When the religious tenets preach about the dependence of women on men as fathers, husbands, and sons for protection, single mothers are shattering this orthodox notion by being the wage-earners, breadwinners, and providers for their families, besides also taking up the caring and nurturing role.
Shalu Nigam, Single Mothers, Patriarchy and Citizenship in India: Rethinking Lone Motherhood through the Lens of Socio-legal and Policy Framework

Radios or televisions operating “in the background” prevent quietude by filling even empty moments with the distracting flow of sounds and voices.

Matthew C. Steenberg, The Beginnings of a Life of Prayer
