The Wife of Sir Isaac Harman Quotes

“The only path of escape he could conceive as yet for Lady Harman lay through the chivalry of some other man.

It is still outside the range of most men's understandings -- and of a great many women's.”

“She had learnt many things since the days of her first rebellion, and she knew now that this matter of the man friend and nothing else in the world is the central issue in the emancipation of women. The difficulty of him is latent in every other restriction of which women complain. The complete emancipation of women will come with complete emancipation of humanity from jealousy — and no sooner. All other emancipations are shams until a woman may go about as freely with this man as with that, and nothing remains for emancipation when she can.”
