What reading level is The Living Present book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Pankhurst had borne and reared six children before she took up the moribund cause of suffrage; and that after a season's careful investigation in Lon- don at the height of the militant movement I con- cluded that never in the world had so many unattractive females been banded together in any one cause. Even THREAT OF THE MATRIARCHATE 215 the young girls I heard speaking on street corners, mounted on boxes, looked gray, dingy, sexless. Of course there were many handsome, even lovely, women, — li...ke Mrs. Cavendish-Bentinck and Lady Hall, for instance — interested in "the movement," contributing funds, and giving it a certain moral support; but when it came to the window smashers, the jail seek- ers, the hunger-strikers, the real martyrs of that ex- traordinary minor chapter of Englands history, there was only one good-looking woman in the entire army — Mrs. Pethick-Lawrence — and militant extravagances soon became too much for her. There were intelli- gent women galore, women of the aristocracy born with a certain style, and showing their breeding even on the soap-box, but sexually attractive women never, and even the youngest seemed to have been born with- out the bloom of youth.
