Harriet Hanson Robinson quotes
-
“The manufacturing corporation, except in comparatively few instances, no longer represents a protecting care, a parental influence, over its operatives. It is too often a soulless organization; and its members forget that they are morally responsible for the souls and bodies, as well as for the wages, of those whose labor is the source of their wealth.”
-- Harriet Hanson Robinson -
“The common law of this state held man and wife to be one person, but that person was the husband.”
-- Harriet Hanson Robinson -
“By the English common law, her husband was her lord and master. He had the custody of her person, and of her minor children. He could 'punish her with astick no bigger than his thumb,' and she could not complain against him.”
-- Harriet Hanson Robinson
