"'Girls are brought up differently now-a-days from what they were when I was young,' she thought. 'What with women's rights' women, and women doctors, and women lecturers, and all these new-fangled notions, women are expected to be mannish, and there's not the care taken of young girls that there used to be. They must push and strive and fight their own way just as men do. It's a bad change. Women are not made to be men nor to act the part of men. They are weak, and should be cared for and watched over and sheltered.' And this conservative old lady sighed over the degeneration of these later days." [p.427]
