Now on that same block almost eight of the wives work.

“I scarcely remember any writer who has ever ventured to say that the half of the work of the world is actually accomplished by women; and very few husbands who would be otherwise than greatly startled and amazed, if not indignant, if not derisive, at the suggestion of such an idea as that the work of their wives was equal to their own.” IfsWorldIdeasWould BeRememberWorkHalfWifeHusbandEqualEqualityAccomplishedAmazedSuggestionsIndignant Author:Margaret Oliphant
“[Wendy] Davis [pursued] higher education, as her campaign website says, with 'the help of academic scholarships, student loans, and state and federal grants.' Now that she is in a high-profile and hotly partisan race, it has come out that she also benefited from the moral and financial support of her second - now ex - husband. In the process, though, behavior we would expect and hardly notice in a man is being portrayed as freakish and problematic in a woman.” MenStatesHelpingWisdomRealityPoliticsProcessCommunityLeadershipJusticeMoneyRaceEducationMoralFamilyHistorySupportGenerationsHuman NaturePolicyStudentsHigherHusbandEqualBehaviorEthicsStrategyFinancialIndividualitySocial MediaCampaignsIdeologyGrantsAcademicExesLoanEqual RightsPursuedWebsiteScholarshipProfilePartisansHigher EducationPartisanshipStudent LoanWendyHigh ProfileEx HusbandFinancial Support Author:Liza Mundy

“I don't remember being thought of as good-looking until I became a feminist. It's more of a comment on people's expectations than of what a feminist would look like. They assumed that if you could get a man, you wouldn't want anything else - what else could you possibly want? So that feminists who were talking about such things as equal pay must be doing so because they were unable to get a husband to support them, and therefore they must be ugl - this was the sort of train of thought. So because I looked different from the stereotype, then people would comment.” PeopleIfsMenWantLooksDifferentRememberPayTalkingSupportHusbandEqualExpectationsTrainFeministCommentStereotypeLooking GoodEqual PayTrain Of Thought Author:Gloria Steinem
“Property rights can improve a woman's ability to stand up to violence in the home. You might think education and employment are important because they give women exit options, but property is as well.
