“Had I made capital on my prettiness, I should have closed the doors of public employment to women for many a year, by the very means which now makes them weak, underpaid competitors in the great workshop of the world.”

“Vigil strange I kept on the field one night;
When you my son and my comrade dropt at my side that day,
One look I but gave which your dear eyes returnd with a look I
shall never forget,
One touch of your hand to mine O boy, reachd up as you lay on the ground,”
—Walt Whitman (18191892)
