This evolution of society, which was so important in my own day, can only take place if each and every citizen accepts responsibility for their actions. Finally, allow me to say that though some may question the comments I make here, let them consider that immorality is the heart of anarchy, and rudeness and selfishness the sisters of ignorance. May you all travel on the path of personal dignity, grace, and kindness. This is the true journey to happiness. Send your questions and comments to me at the VELL address, please.
Marriage is an outdated institution.
I believe in equal rights, equal pay, and equality not only of women but of all members of the human race, despite color, age, or creed. The women of my day fought very hard for women's rights, and not just for their legal rights but for their right to choose their own destinies. I am dedicated to feminism, but I believe in Victorian feminism. In a nutshell, our Victorian feminist ancestors taught us that equality was only gained through working with men, through respecting their feelings and their humanity, and through each striving to make herself a better citizen of the society at large. These key ingredients are absent from modern feminism.
