Samenvatting
...
The four young people turned their steps in the direction of the Finisher Institute.
Wilmer and Miss Charlmonte started off at a swift pace, the others followed more slowly.

“The reason is plain,” replied the girl. “For instance, what is given a girl to do after she quits school, except to make herself as pretty as possible? Whereas a boy is not told to set about the study of adorning himself, he is given other work to do, other ambitions to strive for.”
“This difference you speak oi is wholly artificial — is the result of the artificial rules of society and relations of the two sexes. There is no natural reason why women ..
