Laura E. Richards Quotes

To Thousands Of Elder Women In The Late Sixties And Early Seventies [the Private Women's Club Movement] Came Like A New Gospel Ofactivity And Service. They Had Reared Their Children And Seen Them Take Flight; Moreover, They Had Fought Through The War, Their Hearts In The Field, Their Fingers Plying Needle And Thread. They Had Been Active In Committees And Commissions, The Country Over; Had Learned To Work With And Beside Men, Finding Joy And Companionship And Inspiration In Such Work. How Could They Go Back To The Chimney-corner Life Of The Fifties?
