fashion requires them to sit still and fold
their hands It does not require this of
their brothers. They are applauded
when they grow restive un#er it, and,
brooking their bonds, interest themselres

are behind the wail of restriction till
what is callwi “adverse” fate set* them
free to stain upon their own feet, and
to use their own hands and know their
own powers, which had been dwarfed al
most to extinction by inaetio.n.
