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.
Si suppone che le donne sieno generalmente calme; ma le donne sentono come gli uomini, hanno bisogno, come essi, d'esercitare le loro qualità, occorre loro un campo più vasto per estrinsecarle.
