Quote by: Dorothy L. Sayers

Now, it is frequently asserted that, with women, the job does not come first. What (people cry) are women doing with this liberty of theirs? What woman really prefers a job to a home and family?

Nevertheless, there have been women ... who had the choice, and chose the job and made a success of it. And there have been and are many men who have sacrificed their careers for women ... When it comes to a , then every man or woman has to choose as an individual human being, and, like a human being, take the consequences.
