Excerpt from Modern Woman Her Intentions
There is a great difficulty in writing of the women of the first ten years of the twentieth century. This is to be the Woman''s Century. In it she is to awake from her long sleep and come into her kingdom; but when I look about me I find myself surrounded by the most terribly contradictory facts. We'' know there is to be a revaluation of all values - we know that old rubbish is to be burnt up, that the social world is to be melted down and re moulded nearer to the heart''s desire but at the same time we have to recognize that in spite of the enthusiasm of the alchemists and the transmuters of base metal into gold, the main body of society is as yet hardly aware of the fire that is to burn it.
