really more individuality to a wo
man than there is to a man Un
derneath the tyrannies and hypoc
risies and *»nmlg> caresses man has

life and development of woman, the
reasons underlying her peculiar
treatment hy man; her struggle for
individuality against the almost
overwhelming obstacles placed in
her path thru being treated as a
slave, a queen, and everything but
an equal and the emerging of wo
man into a complete human being
which is really what the woman
movement, feminism, equal suffrage
and all the rest of It mesn* This
