Excerpt from Woman as a Friend
It is frankly feministic, a defense of woman, and that, judging from the distressingly unbecom ing, exposed, distorted and degrading garments fashion has given her to wear, in an era of even exceptional hate toward woman. Those who follow in dislike and exploitation of women might as well read no further.
In a long lifetime of college and private read ing and observation, the life of an unmarried woman, with its enforced association chiefly with her own sex, I have had much opportunity to know womanhood intimately. This is my apology for daring to write of woman as a friend. Besides, no one else, in recent times, at least, has done so, to my knowledge. It is a field untouched enough to attract the bewildered, budding Ph. Ds; and certainly more universal and interesting than the pettifogging trifles they do write about.
