Man's World Woman's Place Quotes

“The fact that women tend to regard the most important decision of their lives as already made, once they have married, makes them readier than their husbands to settle down and sit still in the situations at which they have arrived. It contributes, that is, to the passivity which is so commonly taken as characteristic of women, and also to the conservatism expected of them.”
― Elizabeth Janeway, Man's World Woman's Place: A Study in Social Mythology
