rest of the human race, for this is in a manner to admit that women
are a distinct class, not affected by conditions, environment,
etc., as men are. But we find a "woman question" actually
existing. A great deal of discussion has been going on as to what
is proper for woman, what her real nature is, and how many of the
duties and privileges of man she should be admitted to. Women do
not occupy the same position, socially, politically, economically,
or intellectually that men do, and her powers are not equal to her
brother's. She is daily reproached for trying to be other than she
is, and reminded that her very nature forbids her presuming to
climb out of the subserviency and inferiority which are now
undeniably her portion. Thus a "woman question" is forced upon us
whether we will or not. It is to discover, if possible, whether
she may ever become equal to and like man without perverting her
inherent nature, that this inquiry is made. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
