"
THERE is a woman who enjoys her life. It is safe to say that
the eighty-fourth year of her existence is as happy as any year
that preceded it.
She is an old woman, and to most women that means sorrow and
dulness. But she is happy, admired and useful, BECAUSE SHE
THINKS.
There are in the United States hundreds of thousands of splendid
brains going to waste among our women, because they do not
realize the duty of using, to the last, all the intellectual
power within them.
WHEN WILL WOMAN'S MENTAL LIFE BEGIN?
It is pathetic to hear women of intelligence arguing in support
of woman's claim to "equality" with man.
Of course, woman is really man's superior in important matters.
She is vastly superior morally, beyond any question.
She does the greatest work in the world; she gives to earth its
thinking population and creates every one of the great men that
move civilization along. ----
But otherwise, in the way of MATERIAL accomplishment, woman
cannot be said to equal man at present, and she cannot be said
ever to have equaled him.
Many of the most intelligent women demand recognition for woman
as equal or superior to man in all ways.
They are deeply hurt if in gentle, patient reply you ask them to
mention a female equivalent to a Newton, Archimedes or
Shakespeare.
