Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Meditations on Votes for Women: Together With Animadversions on the Closely Related Subject of Votes for Men If the grand old name of "gentleman" has been soiled by ignoble use its correlative "lady" has not altogether escaped the vulgarizing touch of those who have identified it with the accidents rather than with the realities of social life. But the name of "gentlewoman" has had a happier fortune. When we speak of one as a gentlewoman we are thinking not of her station but of her character. We think of one with gracious manners and sweet reasonableness of soul. You American gentlewomen are not iconoclasts. You instinctively realize that the things which you hold most precious were not made in a day and if they are destroyed cannot be reproduced by an eager reformer. Courtesy, kindliness, sympathy, generosity, are not to be established by a political campaign nor assured by an act of legislature. You know that habit is more than impulse and that it is only through patient training that habits can be changed for the better.
