Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts, as much as their brothers do; they suffer from too rigid a restraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer; and it is narrow-minded in their more privileged fellow-creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves to making puddings and knitting stockings, to playing on the piano and embroidering bags.
On suppose les femmes généralement calmes: mais les femmes sentent comme les hommes; elles ont besoin d'exercer leurs facultés, et, comme à leurs frères, il leur faut un champ pour leurs efforts. De même que les hommes, elles souffrent d'une contrainte trop sévère, d'une immobilité trop absolue.
