"To
call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice
to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed,
is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral
power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. Has she
not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has
she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage?
Without her, man could not be. If nonviolence is the law of
our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective
appeal to the heart than woman?"
