“A lifted world lifts women up,"the Socalist explained.You cannot lift the world at allWhile half of it is kept so small,"the Suffragist maintained.The world awoke, and tartly spoke:Your work is all the same;Work together or work apart,Work, each of you, with all your heart-Just get into the game!”

Charlotte Perkins Gilman

“The intelligence of women is not out in the world, acting on its own behalf; it is kept small, inside the home, acting on behalf of another.
