fell, chivalry began. For a time even chivalry afforded but a dull
time to the women. During the musical period of the troubadours,
ladies, I fancy, had but little to amuse them save the music. But
that was the beginning, and from that time downwards the rights of
women have progressed very favourably. It may be that they have not
yet all that should belong to them. If that be the case, let the men
lose no time in making up the difference. But it seems to me that
the women who are now making their claims may perhaps hardly know

throwing away any of the advantages they have won. As for the women

and attractions, but I utterly refuse to them any sympathy for
supposed wrongs. _O fortunatas sua si bona norint!_ Whether or no,

This question of the rights of women divides itself into two
heads,--one of which is very important, worthy of much consideration,
capable perhaps of much philanthropic action, and at any rate
affording matter for grave discussion. This is the question of
women's work; how far the work of the world, which is now borne
chiefly by men, should be thrown open to women further than is now
done. The other seems to me to be worthy of no consideration, to be
capable of no action, to admit of no grave discussion. This refers to
the political rights of women; how far the political working of the
world, which is now entirely in the hands of men, should be divided
between them and women. The first question is being debated on our
side of the Atlantic as keenly perhaps as on the American side. As to
that other question, I do not know that much has ever been said about
it in Europe.
