    “He slipped his hand and ran away!

    The boy: beginning at his feet.”

    “They talk about a woman’s sphere,
    As though it had a limit.
    There’s not a place in earth or heaven.
    There’s not a task to mankind given ...
    Without a woman in it.”
    —Kate Field (1838–1896)

    “To enumerate the different trades by which the women in New York are endeavoring—not to live—that for many of them is as utterly unattainable a goal as the end of the rainbow—but simply to postpone as long as possible their appearance at the morgue or the cemetery—to attempt to do this would be useless.”
    —Katharine Pearson Woods (1853–1923)
