Our Friend the Charlatan

CHAPTER X
23/40

But women ?" "Yes, yes, the 'monstrous regiment of women,' as the old writer hath it.

Look at the diseases from which we are suffering--materialism and hysteria.

The one has been intensified and extended, the other has newly declared itself, since women came to the front.

No materialist like a woman; give her a voice in the control of things, and good-bye to all our ideals.

Hard cash, military glory, glittering and clanging triumph--these be the gods of a woman's heart.
