[The Angel and the Author - and Others by Jerome K. Jerome]@TWC D-Link bookThe Angel and the Author - and Others CHAPTER XI 11/20
The college period will pass--is passing. Woman will go out into the world, take her place there, discover that bothers were not left behind in the old schoolhouse, will learn that life has duties, responsibilities, will take up her burden side by side with man, will accomplish her destiny. Is there anything left for her to learn? Meanwhile, however, she is having a good time--some people think too good a time.
She wants the best of both.
She demands the joys of independence together with freedom from all work--slavery she calls it. The servants are not to be allowed to bother her, the children are not to be allowed to bother her, her husband is not to be allowed to bother her. She is to be free to lead the higher life.
My dear lady, we all want to lead the higher life.
I don't want to write these articles.
