We Live In A True Chaos Of Contradicting Authorities, An Age Of Conformism Without Community, Of Proximity Without Communication.

A Woman Is Never So Happy As When She Is Being Wooed. Then She Is Mistress Of All She Surveys, The Cynosure Of All Eyes, Until That Day Of Days When She Sails Down The Aisle, A Vision In White, Lovely As The Stefanotis She Carries, Borne Translucent On Her Father's Manly Arm To Be Handed Over To Her New Father-surrogate. If She Is Clever, And If Her Husband Has The Time And The Resources, She Will Insist On Being Wooed All Her Life; More Likely She Will Discover That Marriage Is Not Romantic, That Husbands Forget Birthdays And Aniversaries And Seldom Pay Compliments, Are Often Perfunctory.

Every Wife Who Slaves To Keep Herself Pretty, To Cook Her Husband's Favourite Meals, To Build Up His Pride And Confidence In Himself At The Expense Of His Sense Of Reality, To Be His Closest And Effectively His Only Friend, To Encourage Him To Rejectthe Consensus Of Opinionand Find Reassurance Only In Her Arms Is Binding Her Mate To Her With Hoops Of Steel That Will Strangle Them Both.

So Far It Has Been Assumed That The Only Pregnancies Which Are Aborted Are Accidental Ones And The Only Foetuses Destroyed Those Whose Mothers Could Not Bear The Thought Of Their Becoming Children. In A Just World This Would Be The Case, But The World Is Far From Just. Too Many Women Are Forced To Abort By Poverty, By Their Menfolk, By Their Parents. Poverty Has Many Faces; It May Be The Poverty Of The Young, The Unmarried, The Student, The Unemployed, The Female Or A Combination Of These.
