This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ...over which each of them reigned, as "Queens' Gardens." 54. And here, in the very outset, we are met by a far 30 deeper question, which--strange though this may seem--remains among many of us yet quite undecided, in spite of its infinite importance. We cannot determine what the queenly power of women should be, until we are agreed what their ordinary power 35 should be. We cannot consider how education may fit them for any widely extending duty, until we are agreed what is their true constant duty. And there never was a time when wilder words were spoken, or more vain imagination per 5 mitted, respecting this question--quite vital to all social happiness. The relations of the womanly to the manly nature, their different capacities of intellect or of virtue, seem never to have been yet estimated with entire consent. We hear of the "mission" and of the "rights " of Woman. 10 as if these could ever be separate from the mission and the rights of Man;--as if she and her lord were creatures of independent kind, and of irreconcilable claim. This, at least, is wrong. And not less wrong--perhaps even more foolishly wrong (for I will anticipate thus far what I hope 15 to prove)--is the idea that woman is only the shadow and attendant image of her lord, owing him a thoughtless and servile obedience, and supported altogether in her weakness, by the preeminence of his fortitude. This, I say, is the most foolish of all errors respecting 20 her who was made to be the helpmate of man. As if he could be helped effectively by a shadow, or worthily by a slave! 55. Let us try, then, whether we cannot get at some clear and harmonious idea (it must be harmonious if it is 25 true) of what womanly mind and virtue are in power and office, with respect to man's;...
