From the first years to which my memory stretches, I have been a disappointed woman. When, with my brothers, I reached forth after the sources of knowledge. I was reproved with it isn't fit for you; it doesn't belong to woman.

 

 

 

When I came to seek a profession worthy a mortal being, every employment was closed to me, except those of the teacher, the seamstress, and the housekeeper.
