To this sort of interference with her working life the modern woman can have but one attitude: I am not a child.”

“To say the word Romanticism is to say modern art—that is, intimacy, spirituality, color, aspiration towards the infinite, expressed by every means available to the arts.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
