In Virgil's account of the good housewife, who rises early in order to measure out the work of the household, and in Solomon's description of the thrifty woman of his time, one sees the value set upon feminine industry and economy in times far removed from our own.

I have never known my husband to approve any act of mine which I myself valued.

Any religion which will sacrifice a certain set of human beings for the enjoyment or aggrandizement or advantage of another is no religion. It is a thing which may be allowed, but it is against true religion. Any religion which sacrifices women to the brutality of men is no religion.

I shall stick to my resolution of writing always what I think no matter whom it offends.

Every fallen woman represents a man as guilty as herself, who escapes human detection, but whose soul lies open before God.

I am confirmed in my division of human energies. Ambitious people climb, but faithful people build.
