Ulrich’s prologue is titled “The Slogan,” and tells how this phrase began in Ulrich’s opening paragraph of a study of Puritan funeral services of well-behaved women – which is likely the first time those quiet women made history. Journalist Kay Mils used in in her 1995 informal history of American women. By 1996, it was on t-shirts, bumper stickers, and coffee mugs. The slogan is popular with everyone from quilters to newspaper reporters to musicians.

ETA: Blue Thread, by Ruth T Feldman, uses this slogan on the Dedication page! I didn't know that when I picked up both books at the same time :)
