Let Our Girls Feel That We Expect

The Impulse Of Humanity Toward Social Progress Is Like The Movement In The Currents Of A Great Water System, From Myriad Sources And Under Myriad Circumstances And Conditions, Beating Onward, Ever Onward Toward Its Eternity, The Ocean.

I Care Not For The Theoretical Symmetry And Impregnable Logic Of Your Moral Code, I Care Not For The Hoary Respectability And Traditional Mysticisms Of Your Theological Institutions, I Care Not For The Beauty And Solemnity Of Your Rituals And Religious Ceremonies, I Care Not Even For The Reasonableness And Unimpeachable Fairness Of Your Social Ethics,--if It Does Not Turn Out Better, Nobler, Truer, Men And Women,--if It Does Not Add To The World's Stock Of Valuable Souls,--if It Does Not Give Us A Sounder, Healthier, More Reliable Product From This Great Factory Of Men--i Will Have None Of It.

... Women Are More Quiet. They Don't Feel Called To Mount A Barrel And Harangue By The Hour Every Time They Imagine They Have Produced An Idea.

Let Woman's Claim Be As Broad In The Concrete As The Abstract. We Take Our Stand On The Solidarity Of Humanity, The Oneness Of Life, And The Unnaturalness And Injustice Of All Special Favoritism, Whether Of Sex, Race, Country, Or Condition. If One Link Of The Chain Is Broken, The Chain Is Broken.

It Is The Curse Of Minorities In This Power-worshipping World That Either From Fear Or From An Uncertain Policy Of Expedience They Distrust Their Own Standards And Hesitate To Give Voice To Their Deeper Convictions, Submitting Supinely To Estimates And Characterizations Of Themselves As Handed Down By A Not Unprejudiced Dominant Majority.
