What reading level is Retrospections of An Active Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So I am inevitably forced to the conclusion that these husbands can- not trust each other's discretion. The secrets of the prison-house are too important to be entrusted to one of the prisoners. So ignorance of the matter in hand has come to be held an absolute prerequisite when any one is to be sacrificed to the exigencies of this toast.
I really do not see why this should be so. It is useless for husbands to attempt to keep up this thin veneering of a semblance of authority. The symbols of go...vernment they still retain deceive nobody. They may comfort themselves with the assurance of some vague invisible supremacy, like that of the spiritual Mikado or the Grand Llama, but the true Tycoon is the wife. A witty and profound observer the other day said: "Every husband doubtless knows he is master in his own house, but he also knows his neighbor's wife is master in hers. " [Laughter and cheers. ] Why should not you, husbands of America, admit this great truth and give up the barren sceptre 1 Things would go much easier if you ceased the struggle to keep up appearances.
