Famous quotes containing the words ann and/or young:

    Life is measured by the rapidity of change, the succession of influences that modify the being.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    The suburban housewife—she was the dream image of the young American women and the envy, it was said, of women all over the world. The American housewife—freed by science and labor-saving appliances from the drudgery, the dangers of childbirth, and the illnesses of her grandmother ... had found true feminine fulfilment.
    Betty Friedan (b. 1921)
