To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These girls* are more remarkable for agility than grace in their motions.
The Persian women are kept continually shut up in the harem^ which they rarely leave from the cra- dle to the grave. They are visited only by female relations, or female teachers, hired to furnish them their scanty apparatus of knowledge. The mother instructs her daughter in all the voluptuous coquetry by which she herself acquired precarious ascendency over her absolute master ; but all that is truly esti- mable in femal...e character is neglected, as it ever must be where nothing like free and kind companionship exists between the sexes. A resident in Persia de- clares that the women are ignorant, and inconceiva- bly gross in their ideas and conversation. Under such a system it could not be otherwise.
The contempt in which women are held is singu- larly exemplified by a Persian law, which requires the testimony of foujp of them in cases where the de- claration of two men would be deemed sufficient.
VOL, I. 6 78 PEESIAN WOMEN.
