Emily Matchar
“The problem is that the media rarely discusses the real reasons behind why women leave their jobs. We hear a lot about the desire to be closer to the children, the love of crafting and gardening, and making food from scratch. But reasons like lack of maternity leave, lack of affordable day care, lack of job training, and unhappiness with the 24/7 work culture-well, those aren't getting very much airtime.”
Emily Matchar, Homeward Bound: Why Women are Embracing the New Domesticity

“Men with mortal wounds did not worry him like a woman in labor.”
David Ball, Empires of Sand by David Ball
