ABSTRACT
There is one case, of course, where woman must be allowed the opportunity of getting her living by an occupation suited to her powers, and of making herself useful to human society. For a woman to take an active part in the political conflicts that agitate the State and society is as contradictory to her character and disposition as bearing arms and doing military service is to her physical nature. While civic duties are a department of life in which woman has only an indirect share, the realm of intellectual culture, on the other hand, is as fully open to her, on the whole, as to man, though with a certain difference, it is true. Associations based on community of occupation are of higher grade than property associations. There is an aspect of community life that is important for morals. The life of a community furnishes to the individual an immediate and present type of the life of the State.
