To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I think, on the contrary, that there is abundant witness to the fact that the increase of a woman's intellectual power usually intensifies her susceptibility to high motives, from whatever source they may reach her, or through whatever channel they may come. But, certainly, she is no longer a passive recipient ; she thinks now as well as feels, and the inevitable result is that her at- titude is more judicial than of old." " Do you know," here interpolates a newly graduated collegian, " that in... our colleges it has become a proverb that, if a girl isn't en- gaged before she is a sophomore, the chances are all against her marriage ? " The assent to this is very general, and one of the older women states the evident reasons for it : " We become more interested in our studies, more certain of our ability to take care of ourselves, and therefore less interested in men as possible lovers, and more inde- pendent of them as a means of support." "And also," dryly remarks a very marriageable maiden, "it be- comes evident to us that, as a matter of fact, the men whom our friends marry do not always come to time in their roleoi 'providers' and are not infrequently ready to accept assistance at the hands of the women whom they have undertaken to support." Apropos of this, it is here suggested that possibly the prospect of domestic drudgery is not congenial to women who have found them- selves capable of different and better work ; and this is assented to by several of those present who are supporting their own establish- ments, and paying servants to perform the household labor which would fall upon their shoulders were they in the position of the married woman of average means.
