What reading level is The Long Road of Woman's Memory book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But at the present moment the very names of the tribes and of the honors and glories which they sought are for- gotten, while the basic fact that the mothers held the lives of their children above all else, insisted upon staying where the chil- dren had a chance to live, and cultivated the earth for their food, laid the founda^ tions of an ordered society.
My son used to say that my scientific knowledge was most irregular, but profound experiences such as we are having in this war throw to the ...surface of one's mind all sorts of opinions and half-formed conclusions.
The care for conventions, for agreement with one's friends, is burned away. One is 128 LONG ROAD OF WOMAN'S MEMORY concerned to express only ultimate con- viction even though it may differ from all the rest of the world. This is true in spite of the knowledge that every word will be caught up in an atmosphere ofexcitement and of that nervous irritability which is always close to grief and to moments of high emotion.
"In the face of many distressing mis- understandings I am certain that if a minority of women in every country would clearly express their convictions they would find that they spoke not for themselves alone but for those men for whom the war has been a laceration, — ' an abdication of the spirit.' Such women would doubt- less formulate the scruples of certain soldiers whose 'mouths are stopped by courage,' men who months ago with closed eyes rushed to the defence of their countries.
