Emily S. MacLachlan:
I think that my father and mother really expected us to settle down and have a family, and so, after Bruce was born, which came between the M.A. and the Ph.D., I just quit.  I just quit cold.  I didn’t think about my career or anything.  It never occurred to me that I would have to support myself.

- Emily S. MacLachlan, sociologist, social activist, UNC graduate student during 1930s and 1950s
