No one yet knows what a man's province is, and how far that province, as conceived of today, is artificial.

I have always detested the belief that sex is the chief bond between man and woman. Friendship is far more human.

Much that we read of Russia is imagination and desire only.

Thousands of women are crushed and made inarticulate by that system and never develop as their natures would force them to develop were they in a decent environment.

When I was a girl, the West was still young, and the law of force, of physical force, was dominant.

But I see no reason why a woman should not grow and develop in all those outlets which are suited to her nature, it matters not at all what they may be.

Now, being a girl, I was ashamed of my body and my lack of strength. So I tried to be a man. I shot, rode, jumped, and took part in all the fights of the boys.
