"Man works from dawn to setting sun, but woman's work is never done."

"A man works from sun to sun; a woman's work is never done."

This 2nd version is the quote I often heard from my mother & grandmother.  I often
use it with my beginner students in the "Work" unit which includes housework.
Naturally the women students delight in reading/explaining that quote.  [We also
explore the difference between 'housework' & 'homework.']
