To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But it is not on account of the inconvenience to the ladies that we base our main objection. We base it on the grounds of personal safety. Just suppose that the ladies come to the harvest home each carrying a claw hammer. Suppose that during the events of the day one — or even all — of these ladies were to become offended with something said or done? A hammer is a dangerous weapon under any circumstances, and in the hands of an irate female woman, it would be a menace to limb, and even life. Ex...cuse us. If' the women are to be armed with great claw hammers, we do not wish to be in the crowd, as we would feel safer if absent in the body. It is the part of wisdom — nay, rather of valor — for is not discretion the better part of valor? — to have the committee furnish the hammers, rather than let the women loose in such a gathering each armed with a claw hammer. We object strenuously. We care not what course others take, but as for us, give us a crowd of hammerless women, or let us brave death at the mouth of a cannon, or set us to picking burs out of the tail of a mule, any old way, but not by the hammer route.
