The fact that women in the home have shut themselves away from the thought and life of the world has done much to retard progress.We fill the world with the children of 20th century A.D. fathers and 20th century B.C. mothers.

Fine blunderers in ethics we are, so generally conveying to children the basic impression that pleasantness must be wrong, and right doing unpleasant!

The difference is great between one's outside "life," the things which happen to one, incidents, pains and pleasures, and one's "living."

Now why should that man have fainted? But he did,and right across my path by the wall, so that I had to creep over him every time!

The mother as a social servant instead of a home servant will not lack in true mother duty. From her work, loved and honored though it is, she will return to her home life, the child life, with an eager, ceaseless pleasure, cleansed of all the fret and fraction and weariness that so mar it now.

The mother- poor invaded soul- finds even the bathroom door no bar to hammering little hands.

A man does not have to stay at home all day, in order to love it; why should a woman?
