“ If a woman is on her feet a great deal performing household tasks, she should learn to do something which will keep her sitting and rest her, for in this restless age, even if it must be done by artificial means, it is necessary to acquire an atmosphere of peace for part of every day. It is necessary not only to one’s own health but also to the happiness of those in the home. ”
 Eleanor Roosevelt, It's Up to the Women (1933). copy citation
