Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John and Irene: An Anthology of Thoughts on Woman It was at this point that Woman entered his life - not as a social amenity, nor yet as an object of personal passion, but as a Subject and a Cause. How the first impulse was given I cannot say. It was, however, almost from the first, decisive. He thought he had found, in the examination of Woman´s position and function in human life and in the practical readjustment of these to modern needs, at once a Subject of study which should be both scientific and human, and a Cause for practical reforms, more fundamental and, at the present day, almost more urgent than any other. He threw himself into his new service with an ardour that absorbed all his thoughts and energies, and (to use his own words) he was now, for the first time in his life, single-minded and perfectly happy. It is only fair to John´s family to say that his views on the sorrows and subjection of women were not derived from personal experience. John´s mother ruled her husband´s house and all its inhabitants with a sway as beneficent as it was unquestioned, extending even to the number of cups of coffee to be drunk or of pipes to be smoked each day. John´s sisters used him freely for all purposes for which brothers are useful. John´s landladies invariably described him as "very good-natured."
