Top Homemakers Quotes

Homemakers Quotes By Michelle Alexander

From the outset, the drug war could have been waged primarily in overwhelmingly white suburbs or on college campuses. SWAT teams could have rappelled from helicopters in gated suburban communities and raided the homes of high school lacrosse players known for hosting coke and ecstasy parties after their games. The police could have seized televisions, furniture, and cash from fraternity houses based on an anonymous tip that a few joints or a stash of cocaine could be found hidden in someone's dresser drawer. Suburban homemakers could have been placed under surveillance and subjected to undercover operations designed to catch them violating laws regulating the use and sale of prescription "uppers." All of this could have happened as a matter of routine in white communities, but it did not. — Michelle Alexander

Homemakers Quotes By Marianne Williamson

Yes, women are homemakers, and the entire earth is our home. Yes, we are here to take care of the children, and every child in the world is one of our own. — Marianne Williamson

Homemakers Quotes By John Piper

Not all single women want to be married. Not all boys like football. Not all homemakers like to cook. Not all messy people are lazy. And not all the obese are gluttons. There are glands and diabetes and a dozen conditions you never heard of that may account for things. Put your sermon through the counter-stereotype sieve. — John Piper

Homemakers Quotes By Brit Morin

Homemakers Quotes By Anne Roiphe

Most of us don't have mothers who blazed a trail for us
at least, not all the way. Coming of age before or during the inception of the women's movement, whether as working parents or homemakers, whether married or divorced, our mothers faced conundrums
what should they be? how should they act?
that became our uncertainties. — Anne Roiphe

Homemakers Quotes By Stephanie Coontz

When the prepared foods and drip-dry shirts that had eased the work of homemakers also made it possible for men to live comfortable, if sloppy, bachelor lives . . . — Stephanie Coontz

Homemakers Quotes By Natsuo Kirino

In Japan, full-time homemakers have no economic power of their own, and they socially lead a faceless, anonymous existence. — Natsuo Kirino

Homemakers Quotes By Gloria Steinem

Homemakers work longer and harder than any other class of worker in the United States for less pay, and are the most likely to be replaced by a younger worker. — Gloria Steinem

Homemakers Quotes By Lin Pardey

I had come to worry about those women who were full-time mothers and homemakers by choice. Did other, more career-minded women have the right to devalue them ... ? Maybe it was time to slow down and look at the role restrictions imposed not only on women but the men around them, to search for the balance that could promote self-sufficiency ... — Lin Pardey

Homemakers Quotes By Bob Samples

What this means is that children, homemakers, executives, farmers, and long-living persons can all have high ego strength and good mental health if they possess the courage, humor, and flexibility of equilibrium between their rational and metaphoric minds. — Bob Samples

Homemakers Quotes By A.H. Septimius

Educated and ambitious, with their own forthright opinions, the women of the Garvey set did more to determine political direction than many councillors. Their involvement in public life and political machinations was such that the Shylonian ambassador was able to report, to his monarch, that the women of the Garvey clique were 'politicians first, homemakers second. — A.H. Septimius

Homemakers Quotes By Gloria Furman

For many of us homemakers our greatest fear is in being found incompetent, insufficient, and ineffective. We prefer to look like we've got it all together. We give lip service to the idea that nobody's perfect, but we would rather die trying to prove that we're the exception to the rule. — Gloria Furman

Homemakers Quotes By Jayma Mays

I was really across-the-board, like a nutcase. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, so I just did everything. I was even part of FHA, Future Homemakers of America. How lost was I? — Jayma Mays

Homemakers Quotes By Elizabeth Wurtzel

By the time the sixties hit their home bases, we the kids, were already born, and our parents found themselves stuck between an entrenched belief that children needed to be raised in a traditional household, and a new sense that anything was possible, that the alternative lifestyle was out there for the asking. There they were in marriages they once thought were a necessity and with children they'd had almost by accident in a world that was suddenly saying, 'No necessities! No accidents! Drop Everything!' A little too old to take full advantage of the cultural revolution, our parents just got all the fallout. Freedom hit them obliquely, and invidiously, rather than head-on. Instead of waiting longer to get married, our parents got divorced; Instead of becoming feminists, our mothers were left to become displaced homemakers. A lot of unhappy situations were dissolved by people who were not quite young or free enough to start again. — Elizabeth Wurtzel

Homemakers Quotes By Christina Bartolomeo

These displays made it clear that the truly dedicated homemaker matched her comforter to her pillow shams to her washcloths to her bedskirt to her toothbrush holder. — Christina Bartolomeo

Homemakers Quotes By Emily Matchar

A privileging of individual rights over group goods can lead to serious problems, as we've seen with the antivaccination movement. — Emily Matchar

Homemakers Quotes By R. Heber Newton

Homemakers Quotes By Gene Stratton-Porter

If the homemakers of this country don't get the idea into their heads pretty soon that they are not going to be able to hold their own with the rest of the world, with no children, or one child in the family, there's a sad day of reckoning coming. — Gene Stratton-Porter

Homemakers Quotes By Randy Glasbergen

I think men were destined to become homemakers. After all, who ever heard of "Ms. Clean" or the "Woman from Glad"? — Randy Glasbergen

Homemakers Quotes By Gloria Furman

Theology is for homemakers who need to know who God is, who they are, and what this mundane life is all about. — Gloria Furman
