Quote by Naomi Mitchison

“The feminist problem must be solved, and fairly soon, before the confidence and courage which women got during the war and during the few years of prosperity immediately after it are broken down and wasted. It is, I think, up to the community, if it really wants to grow into a whole, straight, healthy entity, to fit, not women to the jobs - by pruning and forcing women out of their natural way of life - but the jobs to the women.”
