“[Girls] study under the paralyzing idea that their acquirements cannot be brought into practical use. They may subserve the purposes of promoting individual domestic pleasure and social enjoyment in conversation, but what are they in comparison with the grand stimulation of independence and self- reliance, of the capability of contributing to the comfort and happiness of those whom they love as their own souls?”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)

“I watch the white stars darken;
the day comes and the
white stars dim
and lessen
and the lights fade in the city.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
