“The mother as a social servant instead of a home servant will not lack in true mother duty....

—Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935)

“My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.”
—Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
