Excerpt from Women, Their Probable Place and Prospects in the Twentieth CenturyI will declare at the outset of my address that all I am about to state is prompted by a profound and wide admiration of woman, by a chivalrous respect for her highest qualities, and by an ap preciation and lofty conception of her legitimate aims and position as a divinely created companion of man in his present phase of existence.It has occurred to me that as in little more than seven years those of us who may still inhabit this globe will have entered on the twentieth century of the Christian era, I might venture to forecast something of the near future so far as it may relate to the place and prospects of women. I am led to do this because I have for some time past taken an interest in that development of womanly work and interests which has so markedly characterized the last quarter of this century. No one can have failed to note these changes and the results of them - changes, many of them for the better, and some of them, as I think, for the worse.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
