What reading level is In This Our World book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So exquisite a care !
Not to pile on our fair shoulders what we do not wish to bear !
But, oh, most generous brother ! Let us look a little more — Have we women always wanted what you gave to us before ?
Did we ask for veils and harems in the Oriental races ?
Did we beseech to be "unclean," shut out of sacred places ?
Did we beg for scolding bridles and ducking stools to come ?
And clamor for the beating stick no thicker than your thumb ?
156 WOMAN.
Did we seek to be forbidden from all the trad...es that pay ?
Did we claim the lower wages for a man's full work to-day ?
Have we petitioned for the laws wherein our shame is shown : That not a woman's child — nor her own body — is her own ?
What women want has never been a strongly act- ing cause When woman has been wronged by man in churches, customs, law^s ; Why should he find this preference so largely in his way When he himself admits the right of what we ask to-day ?
WEDDED BLISS.
" O COME and be my mate! " said the Eagle to the Hen ; " I love to soar, but then I want my mate to rest Forever in the nest !
