What is the problem of women's freedom? It seems to me to be this: how to arrange the world so that women can be human beings, wit...h a chance to exercise their infinitely varied gifts in infinitely varied ways, instead of being destined by the accident of their sex to one field of activity--housework and child-raising. And second, if and when they choose housework and child-raising to have that occupation recognized by the world as work, requiring a definite economic reward and not merely entitling the performer to be dependent on some man.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
No Raven's wing can stretch the flight so far As the torn bandrols of Napoleon's war.... Choose then your climate, fix your best abode, He'll make you deserts and he'll bring you blood. How could you fear a dearth? have not mankind, Tho slain by millions, millions left behind? Has not conscription still the power to weild Her annual faulchion o'er the human field? A faithful harvester!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
In that open field If you do not come too close, if you do not come too close,... On a summer midnight, you can hear the music Of the weak pipe and the little drum And see them dancing around the bonfire The association of man and woman In daunsinge, signifying matrimonie....LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The charming landscape which I saw this morning is indubitably made up of some twenty or thirty farms. Miller owns this field, Loc...ke that, and Manning the woodland beyond.

This is the best part of these men's farms, yet to this their warranty-deeds give no title.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Of all the words mentioned in language, there is not one that I hate more than the word "right." Is it your right that your field ...prospers? That you don't drop dead this very instant?

On a bitch otter in a field full Of nervous horses, but linger nowhere. Yanked above hounds, reverts to nothing at all, To this long pelt over the back of a chair.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
My political enemies I can freely forgive; but as for who abused me when I was serving my country in the field, and those who atta...cked me for serving my country--Doctor, that is a different case.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I don't like comparisons with football. Baseball is an entirely different game. You can watch a tight, well-played football game, ...but it isn't exciting if half the stadium is empty. The violence on the field must bounce off a lot of people. But you can go to a ball park on a quiet Tuesday afternoon with only a few thousand people in the place and thoroughly enjoy a one-sided game. Baseball has an aesthetic, intellectual appeal found in no other team sport.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
