Quotes by Carla Kaplan  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The plight of the Jewish refugees on the ship the St. Louis, turned away from the United States with over nine hundred Jews on board, was also well covered in the U.S. press (although it would be years before most Americans learned how many of those passengers were sent back to Europe and died in the Holocaust).”
― Carla Kaplan, Troublemaker: The Fierce, Unruly Life of Jessica Mitford

“Many writers, including some of muckraking’s best practitioners, have wondered if “shouting at society” really accomplishes very much.18 Decca was sure that shouting matters.”
― Carla Kaplan, Troublemaker: The Fierce, Unruly Life of Jessica Mitford

“No aristocracy maintains power through empathy. Aristocracies have always, as historian David Cannadine notes, “accepted, implicitly and absolutely, an unequal and hierarchical society, in which their place was undisputedly at the top.”
― Carla Kaplan, Troublemaker: The Fierce, Unruly Life of Jessica Mitford
