The Soul of Woman: An Interpretation of the Philosophy of Feminism. E-book. Formato PDF Paul Jordan Smith   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

The new Feminism has created a revolution in the ranks of the woman movement. It has made a startling announcement to a body busily en gaged in promoting the claims for su?rage and the cause of social re form. I t declares that the primary purpose of woman is spiritual; that su?rage and social reform are good enough in their way, but that woman as woman has a greater value to con tribute to Life, and that she must do this at all costs. Far from being con servative, however, the Feminists have gone away and ahead of their sisters in proposing revolutionary social and ethical changes, and are awakening astonished protests everywhere. And this has led us to a fresh consideration of the spiritual life of woman, and we turn to those great seers of modern literature who have been able to express most powerfully what they have been vouchsafed to see of the Soul of Woman.
