It appeared to me that with such a man as teacher and guide I could not fail, and it was in a queer mixture of young love and vaulting ambition that I became a wife.”
—Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)
“Let a man do what he will by a single woman, the world is encouragingly apt to think Marriage a sufficient amends.”
