Marguerite Duras Quote

A woman's work, from the time she gets up to the time she goes to bed, is as hard as a day at war, worse than a man's working day.... To men, women's work was like the rain-bringing clouds, or the rain itself. The task involved was carried out every day as regularly as sleep. So men were happy - men in the Middle Ages, men at the time of the Revolution, and men in 1986: everything in the garden was lovely.
