the outward relations of men and women, on the regulation of capital
and labour, on the equality of the sexes and the improvement of the
conditions of life—efforts which culminated naturally in socialism. My
work is one dealing essentially with an attitude towards life. I would
protest against the want of respect for the ultimate emotional aspects
of life, the love of man for woman and of woman for her child—a want
of respect which makes it impossible to tell a young girl openly the
reason why she must not over-exert herself at the time of her monthly
periods. I confess to little patience with this effort to escape sex.
Everything connected with birth and maternity has to be hidden and
mentioned only in whispers. We have forced the attention of girls away
from motherhood, fixing their desires on work and independence. Obedient
and inexperienced, they have followed our guiding. We have taught them to
regard the physical attraction which they ought to feel towards men as
_not nice_, thereby associating in their young minds all sexual feelings
without distinction as _not nice_. We have left them ignorant that sex
feelings may be good or bad according to their associations. Harmful
emotional repression has been inevitable, with a result in the after
years of distaste for motherhood and passionate marriage. We have made
love unclean and separated it from their lives. And, where love is not,
all else is barren. I must speak strongly, for very great is the evil we
are countenancing.
The attitude of woman herself is the deep secret of this question; and
by attitude I mean something more than the desire of the individual girl
or woman, I mean the collective spirit in which life is approached. That
is where we have been wanting. We, the mothers and teachers of this last
generation of women, have failed to grasp life and all that it means.
What we have most dreaded in education is sex. We can control this
attitude only in our schools. Emancipation can come through a regaining
of consciousness. Get this right—let our girls feel that their education
_because they are women_ is the most important work of the nation, more,
not less important, than is the education of their brothers, and the rest
will follow.
We have by our whole attitude shown the most coarse lack of understanding
of the needs of girls. Instruction has been the sole effort of our
schools. This has hampered the perfection of life. Our daughters have but
accepted and abandoned their bodies and their souls to the rollers of
that crushing machine we have called education.
All of us are responsible, for our thoughts and our desires affect the
universe and our neighbours. Neither can any repentance that may come
late, nor any wailings of dismay, stop the consequences of our sinning
follies.
I cannot lay too much stress on this sense of women’s desire, for it
is this that will direct action in the future. If we cannot have a
fundamental change of desire, a fresh view of what is a sane, complete
and profitable life; if we cannot cease from our fears of sex; if we
cannot alter the ideals we place before girls and work a revolution in
the practice of our education, we shall do no good. There will be endless
talk of advancement—of higher motherhood, of economic emancipation and
freedom in marriage; there will also be continued tinkering legislation,
with many timid experiments in mother-training and child-rearing, and
underneath the spirit of motherhood will be dying, dying all the time.
But the unbeliever will cry out: All this is utterly impossible; this
is the old clog and degradation for women, limiting her to the single
function of her sex. My answer is this. Even so it was from the beginning
of time. Nature has so planned it, fixing the maternal instinct deep in
the mother, and claiming from her the payment that must be given. Woman
can only bow before the Throne of Life. She is entrusted with life’s
supreme mission, that of transmitting the sacred torch of life to future
generations. She belongs not to herself but to posterity. She must not
squander her gift. She must store her energy that she may give life to
her child.
Woman, all-containing, universal—how should she be limited to herself?
This is my deepest belief.
Woman is the giver, the interpreter. Freedom for her never can be
identified with self-assertion. Great elementary truths to-day have
acquired an intensified significance. Oppression stretches like a rod
over the earth, the world is ploughed with swords and reaped in blood.
The echoes of slaughter reach from land to land. The cataclysm, with its
immense appeal to terror and love and hate and pity, has acted to stir
us profoundly and quicken our response to the emotional aspects of life.
Old prejudices are rooted up; institutions are in the melting-pot. A
people habitually resistant to emotion, we have been awakened to reality.
I cannot doubt that we shall profit. We were occupied in intellectual
pleasures and energies, but now our souls have been harrowed. This is
the great opportunity if we have the will to use it.
Fear has been in us the folly irredeemable, planted like seeds of the
wild weeds among our wheat. Even in our childhood doubt has slept with
us in our cradles, as verily we have been conceived in sin, being born
without passionate joy. And this disharmony has followed us up and down
in the home; doubt was our schoolfellow, ever following our steps in our
work and in our play, until fear has become our perpetual companion. I
see the past, the present and the future existing all at once before me,
and I know that as soon as fear is conquered redemption is ready.
Then no longer will the blessings of the Psalmist be changed by our
faithless folly into cursing, but again the wife shall be as a fruitful
vine by the sides of the house and the children like olive plants around
the table. Behold, thus shall the woman and the man be blessed together,
and they shall see good all the days of their life.
But this regeneration will come only through the creation of our wills.
Without unceasing desire nothing can be done. Desire is action. If you
leave off desiring salvation you are lost.
I tell you no virtue can be found apart from our desires. Life is the
struggle everlasting, unceasing sacrifice, constant aspiration.
What is the secret, if it is not Love?
The spirit of Life is Love triumphant, the immortal force which incites
the struggle, makes glad the sacrifice, which stirs the desire to
achieve. And the law of Love is as easy to state as it is difficult to
apply: it is the transforming of the will which says “mine” into the will
which says “thine.” It is a law that can be comprehended only by living
it.
I shall be called old-fashioned. Yet, perhaps, after all, I see further,
deeper, and more surely than those who call me so.
The union of the man and the woman cleaving to each other can be the
wonder of life. Marriage should be a blessing of the senses, a kindling
of the spirit, a mutual surrender, and a new creation.
Creation is not accomplished; it is continuous and unceasing, and in its
work every living thing has its share, destroying and creating.
What is it that I desire? What is it that I expect? What is the change of
whose coming I feel as assured as of the rising of to-morrow’s sun?
I look for a regeneration of woman’s instincts through consciousness.
She, who has conquered the world, will then renounce the world. The old
corruption will be swept away. Woman is the keeper of redemption; it is
her work to lead man back to the gate of his being.
We are waiting in pain for the new liberation. Love alters everything, it
melts the whole world and makes it afresh. Love is the sun of our spirits
and the wind.
Is there, indeed, this glad hope of things changing? Changing? They have
got to change. The weeds of our mistakes have so grown up that they are
choking us. Yes, whether from inside or from out, I do not know yet, but
there is change and awakening coming. Motherhood will triumph. Life is
going to be made new before long.

in Great Britain and other countries. Then it was finally banished
by international agreement from twelve European countries at the
International Conference of Bonn, 1906.
[8] The three systems of employment adopted are as follows—
One shift of 13-14 hours (the overtime system);
Two shifts of 12 hours;
Three shifts of 8 hours.
The report strongly recommends the universal adoption of the 8-hour shift
system.

[13] See article by J. Arthur Thomson in _The New Statesman_, November
1915.
[14] Not all the scarabees live to see the adult growth of their
children. This is done, as Fabre’s observations have established by the
_Spanish Copris_ and some related dung-beetles, which are unique among
non-social insects, inasmuch as the mother survives to see the emergence
and complete metamorphosis of the family for whom she and her husband
have so unremittingly toiled.
[15] In this connection the reader is recommended to consult C.
Lloyd-Morgan’s works, in particular _Animal Life and Intelligence_. See
also the interesting remarks on “De L’Amour Maternal,” in _Sociétés
Animales_, by Alfred Espinas, pp. 172-180.
[16] See Espinas, _Des Sociétés Animales_, especially Chapter V, “Société
domestique paternelle,” pp. 236 _et seq._
[17] These cases, as well as many others in this and in the next chapter,
are taken from Pycraft’s _Infancy of Animals_. I would wish to record my
indebtedness to this fascinating book. To prevent continuous reference
notes, wherever it is not otherwise stated, the reader will know the
cases I quote have been taken from Mr. Pycraft’s book.
[18] The reader is referred to a small book by St. George Mivart, _The
Common Frog_.
[19] I quote from Mr. Pycraft’s account of this incident, _Infancy of

[26] Romanes refers to _Silliman’s American Journal_, February 1872.
[27] These cases would seem to contradict the statement made on p. 82
that small families occur when the young are protected by the parents.
I cannot explain this exception. But what I have stated about the
dependence of the birth rate on the amount of parental care is commonly
true. In this connection I would quote Mr. Pycraft (_Infancy of Animals_,
p. 214): “A careful survey of the facts shows us that the production of
large numbers of eggs and young produces the same result as obtained
where but few eggs are laid, and are either carefully guarded by the
parents or are specially protected by some other means.”
[28] Quoted by St. George Mivart.

however, brings them forward in quite a different connection to prove his
theory of the protective duller colours of the female birds.

Levick. He has come nearer to the life of the penguin than any other
discoverer. See _Natural History of the Adélie Penguins_. Also article in
_The New Statesman_, April 17, 1915.
[47] The lowliest living mammals, the duck-billed mole and the anteater
of Australia, still lay eggs, which they retain within their bodies until
nearly ready to hatch.

[65] I am not giving any references in support of the statements made in
this chapter. The reader is referred to _The Age of Mother-Power_.
[66] _The Age of Mother-Power._
[67] I would wish to say here that I did not consider this question
sufficiently when I wrote _The Age of Mother-Power_. I was, perhaps,
carried away by the advantages to women of the maternal system of
reckoning descent. Such a system could be preserved only under the
conditions of the communal clan. This necessitated the absorption
of the individual family, which must consist of father, mother and
children. I hold this to be a greater evil than the wrongs—great as
those wrongs undoubtedly were—that came in family relationships with the
re-establishment of the patriarchal home.
[68] The reader is referred to a new book on feminism that has come
into my hands while reading the proofs of this chapter, _Towards a Sane
Feminism_, by Wilma Meikle. The book is instructive as expressing the
views of the younger suffragists. Note especially the three chapters,
“Simplifying Sex Problems,” “How to be Moral though Married,” and
“Between the Home and the Labour Market.” One short sentence I quote
which clearly shows the opinions held by the writer, “The truth is that
Motherhood is one of the most casual of all relationships and one of the
shortest-lived.” Any comment from me on this smart folly is unnecessary.
[69] The quotation is taken from the well-known book of Mrs. Perkins
Gilman, who gave the earliest expression to this false view of what is
good for the child.

[72] These were the numbers given in the debate in Parliament, April 4,
1916, at the time of writing this chapter. They will be much, much larger
before my book is finished and published.
[73] For a full description of these early experiments in communal
dwellings see _The Age of Mother-Power_, pp. 48, 103-131, 151.
[74] See p. 112.
[75] See p. 119.
[76] See _The Age of Mother-Power_, pp. 127, 173, 178, 177-180.
[77] See Iwan Bloch, _Sexual History of our Times_, p. 196, who quotes
from Josef Kohler.
[78] See pp. 229-254.
[79] The reader is referred to the chapter on “Divorce” in _The Truth
about Woman_, pp. 352-359. I may, perhaps, also state my intention of
devoting my next book entirely to the urgent question of Divorce Reform.
For this reason I have said very little about the subject in this work.
[80] See pp. 229-254.
[81] See p. 347.
[82] The reader is referred to the chapter on “Reproductive Differences”
in an instructive little book, _Preparation for Marriage_, by Walter
Heape.
[83] See p. 339.
[84] See _The Truth about Woman_, pp. 326-328. Also article in the
_English Review_, September 1913, republished as a small book in America
under the title _Women and Morality_.
[85] _The Truth about Woman_, p. 191.
[86] See p. 51.
[87] This estimate of the number of Women War Workers is given by Sir Leo
Chiozza Money.
[88] See p. 155.
[89] Sir Leo Chiozza Money, in an article in _Tit Bits_ (October 21,
1916), “Women’s Share in Winning the War,” says, “Assuming peace to come
by the end of 1917, the country will probably contain about two millions
more women than men of marriageable age.”
[90] I am here in agreement with Mr. H. G. Wells’ forecast, “What is
Coming?” See his essay on _Women and the War_, already referred to, p.
167.
[91] On this question see _The Truth about Woman_, pp. 372, 373. An
article by Mr. W. L. George, “Women after the War,” appeared in the
_English Review_ of December 1. Mr. George gives some very interesting
statistics as to the disproportion between the numbers of the two sexes,
treating the question from a very new point of view. He shows that the
number of unmarried men in England and Wales at the last census so
greatly outnumbered the extra women that there were “nearly three men for
every superfluous woman!”
[92] I related this incident first in _The Truth about Woman_, p. 347.
[93] Very interesting statistics in this connection are given in an
admirable monograph by Dr. Max Marcuse, _Uneheliche Mütter_ (Berlin,
1907, vol. xxvii. of the _Documents of Great Towns_, edited by Hans
Ostwald).
Marriages Illegitimate births
per 1000. per 1000.
1876 8.5 8.6
1877 8.0 8.7
1878 7.7 8.7
1879 7.5 8.8
Taken from _Jahrbuch für das deutsche Reich_. This table clearly shows a
steady increase in the illegitimate birth-rate in direct proportion to
the decline in the number of marriages.
In Bavaria, again, up to the year 1868, the parishes (Gemeinden) held a
power of veto over all wage-earners desiring to marry. In 1868 most of
these restrictions were abolished, and at once the illegitimate births
dropped 12.6 per cent.
[94] The reader is referred to the chapter on “Prostitution” in _The
Truth about Woman_.
[95] By the _Affiliation Order Act_, 1914, two important changes in the
law were gained (see p. 276), but little has been done in comparison with
the wise changes made in other States.
[96] In this connection the reader is referred to a statement made in
the _Report of the Royal Commission of Venereal Diseases_ (p. 17), with
regard to “the high prevalence of syphilis among unmarried mothers.”
An examination made by Dr. Mott as to the presence of syphilis in poor
unmarried and working-class married women found that among the former
27.6 per cent. of the mothers were infected, while for the married the
percentage was as low as 6.6. The Report states: “The tests in the above
cases were carefully carried out, and the results, although based on
too few cases to justify sweeping generalisations, must be regarded as
extremely significant.” See also the next chapter, “The Dangers of Sexual
Diseases.”
[97] _Feminism in Germany and Scandinavia_, by Katharine Anthony. This
interesting little book gives a full account of the splendid Norwegian
bill, as well as considerable information on other matters connected with
the unmarried mother.
[98] By the _Affiliation Order Act of 1914_, two important changes in the
law were gained—
(1) The compulsory interval of six days (a period which gave the man
opportunity to escape) between the summons and the appearance in court of
the putative father was abolished.
(2) The amount of the affiliation order was made payable through an
official of the court (formerly it was left to the woman to collect the
money), who has power, with the consent of the woman, to take action in
case of non-payment.
[99] _The Truth about Woman_, pp. 359-374.
[100] In proof of this, see the letters from the Mothers of the
Co-operative Guild quoted on pp. 40-44.
[101] The Education Committee of the London County Council, for instance,
have just agreed that in spite of the Report on Venereal Diseases and
with its recommendation to schools to give sexual instruction, they would
in no case advise teachers to give class instruction on such matters,
but, at the same time, they advise teachers to give such instruction
privately to “individual” pupils.
[102] “Three Contributions to the Sexual Theory,” _The Infantile
Sexuality_, p. 38. Eng. trans., New York, 1910.
[103] See p. 100. Also p. 222. For further information on this subject,
the reader is referred to the works of Mr. Walter Heape, especially _Sex
Antagonism_ and _Preparation for Marriage_.
[104] See pp. 185 and 298.
[105] See pp. 100-102.
[106] This is the opinion of Stanley Hall, whose wise work on
_Adolescence_ should be read by all mothers. In this connection he
beautifully writes: “In this way the girl will be anchored in time to
what is really the essential thing, viz. reproduction and the carrying
beneath her heart and then bearing children, which are the hope of the
world.”
[107] I find it estimated that by the end of 1917, of the persons aged
from fifteen to forty-four in the United Kingdom, the females will exceed
the males by nearly two millions.
