In building villages, towns and cities,
men surrender many rights for the
common good and general welfare; but
women acquire rightsand attain higher
rank than are conceded to the matron
of the farm or to the household drudge
of the miner, or hunter, or trapper.
Men are, even until this date, savages
and barbarians by instinct; and nearly
all of them are Ishmaelites, with their
hands raised against all other men.
Women, however, are adaptable crea-
