Quotes by Elizabeth Warnock Fernea (?)

“And in spite of the relative obscurity in which these women lived, I came to realize how much they influenced men, their husbands and especially their sons, and even-indirectly, by silent example (as did the teachers)-men they never saw or met. Not only did the women influence, but in many cases they helped to determine events: whom their sons would marry, whom their daughters would marry, whether or not a child would go on to school and university. And they did this without coercion, without publicity, and above all without reproach.”
― Elizabeth Warnock Fernea, Guests of the Sheik: An Ethnography of an Iraqi Village
