The Odd Women

CHAPTER XIII
38/41

There must be a new type of woman, active in every sphere of life: a new worker out in the world, a new ruler of the home.

Of the old ideal virtues we can retain many, but we have to add to them those which have been thought appropriate only in men.

Let a woman be gentle, but at the same time let her be strong; let her be pure of heart, but none the less wise and instructed.

Because we have to set an example to the sleepy of our sex, we must carry on an active warfare--must be invaders.

Whether woman is the equal of man I neither know nor care.
