Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The War and the Women Electricians divide bodies by the resistance they offer to the passage of electric force as calculated in "ohms." Humanity may be divided into classes by the resistance they offer to new ideas. The Americans, for example, have a small ohmage, the English a high. Judged by the evolution of their women, old countries like Sweden and Finland are less resistant than even the New World. In England woman has not moved a step in any direction without a hue and cry. Tragical is the story of the first medical pioneers, and equality with the man physician is even yet not won, though every new female doctor is now hailed as a godsend by the male millions engaged night and day in making work for her. The "lost volts" is the pathetic name for the units of electricity wasted through resistance. What a ghastly waste of human force this British bulldoggedness is answerable for! But sometimes in every country this ohmage of obstinacy is overwhelmed by sudden forces. Social evolution, which proceeds usually like the snail, proceeds at these moments like the kangaroo - "by leaps and bounds" - just as geological changes which in normal times are imperceptibly slow are sometimes cataclysmic. Such a volcanic upheaval has the war brought to women. In this transformation of the social landscape the suffrage question has become a relatively insignificant landmark. Venus and Her Shell The cause of woman´s sudden rise in status is the discovery that, like the horse, she is not merely a domestic beast of burden, but may also be useful for war. In a passive sense the discovery was not new. Did not Sir Walter Scott announce it in his famous apostrophe to "Woman in our hours of famous apostrophe to "Woman in our hours of ease?"
