"Nel 1932, ventisei Stati avevano decretato che fosse illegale per le donne sposate avere un lavoro, e negli Stati in cui non era obbligatorio lasciare il lavoro al momento delle nozze era comunque necessario segnalare un matrimonio imminente perché era ritenuto scandaloso che una donna togliesse un impiego a un lavoratore "vero"."-Paulina Bren, The Barbizon: The Hotel That Set Women Free
