Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Sentence of Silence If the purpose of this novel is not clear to the serious reader, then nothing that I might say in a foreword would make it clear. If the characters, to whom I have been merely Chorus, do not of themselves present their problem and its need of solution, then either I err in the manner of my interpretation or my readers err in their manner of approach. The so-called sex-question is, as at present distorted, an economic question because disproportionate pay prevents contented marriages, drives men to the brothel and women to the street, and robs both men and women of their right to happiness. It is an educational question because our modern attitude toward marriage, an economic attitude, has created a convention of silence that fits our children for disaster. It is a moral question because its economic origin sets one value upon continence in man and another value upon continence in woman. Not until we have faced the subject with opened eyes can we hope for even an approximate realization of that which now stares at us, in its abstract as well as its concrete form, on city pavements and in country lanes.
