Hi, 
 
Your quote strongly reminded me of the Marxist standpoint on the emancipation of women, to the effect that no society can be completely free so long as its women are still oppressed. Specifically, in "Socialism: Utopian and Scientific", Frederick Engels acknowledges that it is the utopian socialist, Charles Fourier, who was the first to recognize this. 
 
Still more masterly is his criticism of the bourgeois form of the relations between sexes, and the position of woman in bourgeois society. He was the first to declare that in any given society the degree of woman's emancipation is the natural measure of the general emancipation.

I've heard people paraphrase this idea to suit it to the context, so that might be one possibility.

	Try the web site www.quotationspage.com <http://www.quotationspage.com/> , go to their forums, and ask the "who said that" section.  Also not a bad site for finding quotations.  I'm sure there are others; this is just the one that I am familiar with.

		Hi folks,
		 
		I'm trying very hard to find out the origins and correct phrasing of the following (probably paraphrased quote):
		 
		"A true indicator of a company's (society's?) health is the overall wellness of its working class."
		 
		I have no idea who said it, when, or what was exactly stated.
		 
		Any and all assistance is appreciated!!
		 
		Thanks,
		Michael
