[What eight million women want by Rheta Childe Dorr]@TWC D-Link bookWhat eight million women want CHAPTER I 5/16

Does any one question that this is the most important political fact the modern world has ever faced? I have asked you to consider three facts, but in reality they are but three manifestations of one fact, to my mind the most important human fact society has yet encountered.
Women have ceased to exist as a subsidiary class in the community.
They are no longer wholly dependent, economically, intellectually, and spiritually, on a ruling class of men. They look on life with the eyes of reasoning adults, where once they regarded it as trusting children.
Women now form a new social group, separate, and to a degree homogeneous.
